Wallfahrtskapelle, Pilgrimage chapel in Malsch, Germany.

The Wallfahrtskapelle "Sieben Schmerzen Mariens" stands on the 247-metre Letzenberg above Malsch, about 75 metres above the village. The neo-Romanesque octagon has cream stucco walls with grey stone quoins, a round-arched entrance beneath a cross-shaped window, and a steep roof banded in green, white and orange tiles; a round white tower with a green-tiled roof adjoins it. The foundation is of yellow sandstone hauled up from Odenheim by horse cart, the upper masonry from Malsch quarries.

Pilgrimage to the Letzenberg is documented from 1296, and a Wendelin chapel stood here by 1717. The present octagonal neo-Romanesque chapel of the Seven Sorrows of Mary was begun in 1901; parish priest Josef Isemann laid the foundation stone on 4 May 1902, and the 429-pound bell was consecrated on 16 July 1905. The building was repainted inside in 1921 and restored between 1975 and 1990.

Pilgrimages to the Letzenberg continue a Wendelin procession held twice a year since before records began; the spring pilgrimage falls on the first Sunday in May and the autumn one on the third Sunday in September. On the last Sunday in September a horse pilgrimage ends with the blessing of people and animals. The chapel is dedicated to the Seven Sorrows of Mary.

The chapel stands on the 247-metre Letzenberg, about 75 metres above Malsch, reached on foot via the Kreuzweg, a Stations of the Cross route laid out in 1883 with fourteen iron posts and inaugurated on 3 May 1884. The spring pilgrimage falls on the first Sunday in May, the autumn one on the third Sunday in September, and the horse pilgrimage on the last Sunday in September.

The chapel stands on the 247-metre Letzenberg, about 75 metres above Malsch, and its south side is visible far across the town as a landmark. The view reaches into the Rhine plain and the Kraichgau on clear days. The octagonal plan was drawn up against the usual building practice of the time, and the original plans, sent to the Dresden building exhibition of 1900, won a gold medal but were lost.
