Schönenbergkirche Ellwangen, Baroque pilgrimage church on Schönenberg hill in Ellwangen, Germany.

The Schönenbergkirche Ellwangen is a pilgrimage church on the 530-metre Schönenberg near Ellwangen. Its three-storey facade has twin towers with Tuscan and Ionic orders and beehive-shaped cupolas. The white interior, 49 metres long and 23 metres wide, is a wall-pillar hall with chapels and galleries between the pillars, and a choir that incorporates a Loreto chapel built in 1639.

The building was destroyed by lightning in 1709 and subsequently reconstructed before receiving consecration from an auxiliary bishop in 1729. This rebuilding after destruction shaped the church as it stands today.

The church is a pilgrimage site dedicated to Our Lady, its full title being "Zu Unserer Lieben Frau". The high altar painting by Johannes Classen (1715) shows the Assumption of Mary, with apostles around the empty sarcophagus. On the reverse of the altarpiece hangs A. Bellucci's Nativity of Christ (1719), displayed only during the Christmas season.

Wear sturdy shoes for the climb, as the path to the hilltop can be steep and somewhat lengthy. The chapels positioned along the approach provide places to rest and take in the surroundings as you make your way up.

The high altar's altarpiece is painted on both sides: the reverse holds A. Bellucci's Nativity of 1719, shown only during the Christmas season. The rest of the year visitors see Johannes Classen's 1715 Assumption of Mary, with apostles around the empty sarcophagus.
