Käppele

The Käppele features a double-towered front with cupolas and roof lanterns, standing above the city with a path following the Stations of the Cross.

Built between 1748 and 1750 under architect Johann Balthasar Neumann, the church replaced an earlier chapel constructed around a pietà from 1640.

The interior contains ceiling frescoes by Matthäus Günther from 1752, stucco work by Johann Michael Feuchtmayer, and a neoclassical high altar from 1799.

Visitors can reach the church either by car or through a walking path with approximately 70 stairs, with tours typically lasting between one and two hours.

The Mirakelgang passage displays numerous historical votive offerings, documenting local religious practices from the 19th and 20th centuries.
