Wallfahrtskirche Lehenbühl, Catholic pilgrimage church in Legau, Germany.
Wallfahrtskirche Lehenbühl is a pilgrimage church in Legau featuring elaborate stucco work and ceiling paintings. The interior displays alternating white and pink stucco decorations, while a central altar houses a sacred image dating from 1510.
The chapel began as a simple cemetery building until a sacred image transformed its importance and drew pilgrims. It was then substantially rebuilt between 1715 and 1718 and expanded into the pilgrimage church seen today.
The building was named after a military victory and depicts this in frescoes that show soldiers and religious symbols side by side. Visitors can observe this blend of worldly and spiritual themes in the decorations throughout the interior.
To plan a visit, travelers can contact the Legau parish office at Hauptstraße 31 to learn about opening times and available tours. The church is easily accessible and the town of Legau provides basic visitor facilities and orientation points.
The building displays the transitional style from late Baroque to Rococo in its exterior, with five flat pilasters and decorative spheres on the western facade. This architectural approach was uncommon for rural churches of that period and region.
