Spindeltalkirche

Located in the Spindeltal valley, this church structure contains restored walls, a reconstructed tower with a bell, and preserved sections of the altar room.

Count Georg von Helfenstein commissioned the construction of this Gothic church between 1477 and 1478, replacing an existing deteriorating Marian chapel at the site.

The discovery of a sandstone Madonna figure from 1340 in the ruins during 1931 represents the enduring religious significance of this pilgrimage destination.

The church opens for special ceremonies from May to October, requiring advance registration for private events such as weddings and religious services.

After centuries of abandonment, local residents in the 1990s formed an association to stabilize the structure and install a replica of the original Spindeltal Madonna.
