Schönenbergkirche Ellwangen, Baroque pilgrimage church on Schönenberg hill in Ellwangen, Germany.
The church features a three-story facade with twin towers, decorated with pilasters and cornice structures spanning 49 meters in length.
Following destruction by lightning in 1709, the church underwent reconstruction and received consecration from Auxiliary Bishop Johann Jakob von Mayr in 1729.
The interior displays 22 frescoes by Melchior Steidl dedicated to the Virgin Mary, along with stuck figures representing the twelve apostles.
The church remains an active pilgrimage destination with multiple rosary chapels along the path leading to the entrance.
Behind the high altar stands a Christmas crib installation from 1911, redesigned in 2000 by Sieger Köder with traditional figurines.
