Siebenschläferkirche, Religious monument in Rotthof, Bavaria, Germany.
The Siebenschläferkirche features a Baroque altar transformed into a grotto where colored light filters through, creating an illuminated interior space.
Two Roman gravestones embedded in the exterior walls, depicting three and four figures respectively, were mistakenly interpreted as the Seven Sleepers.
The church commemorates the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, young men who according to Christian tradition slept for 200 years to escape persecution.
The church stands as part of a religious walking trail connecting multiple sacred sites in the Ruhstorf an der Rott region.
During renovation work in 2004, workers discovered multiple skeletons, additional Roman gravestones, and remnants of a Celtic farmstead near the foundations.
