Maria Birnbaum, Catholic pilgrimage church in Sielenbach, Germany.

The church stands along the Ecknach river, south of Sielenbach, featuring central Baroque architecture with white walls and a prominent dome structure.

Teutonic Order commander Philipp Jakob von Kaltenthal initiated the construction of Maria Birnbaum in the second half of the 17th century as a place of worship.

Maria Birnbaum represents one of Bavaria's first central Baroque religious buildings, dedicated to the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary.

The church maintains regular mass schedules and connects to multiple hiking trails, including a 4.5-kilometer loop from Schafhausen to Kühbach Brewery.

Since 1998, brothers of the Teutonic Order have returned to manage the church after a 200-year absence, establishing it as their novitiate house.
