Wallfahrtskirche Herrgottsruh

The Wallfahrtskirche Herrgottsruh displays baroque architecture with a central dome, ornate altar decorations, and detailed frescoes by Cosmas Damian Asam.

The church's origins date to 1350 when a Friedberg citizen built a Holy Sepulchre chapel after returning from the Holy Land.

The church maintains traditional celebrations of the Friday of Sorrows on March 22, continuing a devotional practice established by the Herrgottsruh Brotherhood in 1727.

Visitors can attend regular church services, explore the architectural features, and participate in pilgrimages throughout the religious calendar year.

The church houses a medieval devotional image known as 'Christ in Repose', which became a focal point for pilgrims since the 15th century.
