Wallfahrtskirche Maria Gern, Catholic pilgrimage church in Berchtesgaden, Germany
The Maria Gern Church sits on a hill at 700 meters elevation, featuring an oval central structure between a southern tower and northern sacristy.
The first chapel appeared in the 16th century, with the current stone church constructed in 1708 to accommodate increasing numbers of pilgrims.
The ceiling displays 24 cartouches depicting Marian cycle scenes, while the high altar holds a grace image of Maria-Help dressed in seasonal silk damask robes.
Visitors can access the church year-round and observe a 1740 Baroque nativity scene collection permanently displayed under the organ gallery.
The church interior contains votice paintings from 1628 to the 20th century, documenting the evolution of previous church buildings at Maria Gern.
