Maria Elend, Baroque pilgrimage church in Dietramszell, Germany

The Maria Elend church features an octagonal central structure with a steep gabled roof and a copper onion dome atop its entrance tower.

The church was built between 1687 and 1690 on the grounds of Augustinian canons and received consecration from auxiliary bishop Simon Judas Thaddeus Schmidt.

The church ceiling contains a 1791 fresco by Johann Sebastian Troger showing farmers and sick people seeking solace from Jesus and Mary.

The church stands at an altitude of 712 meters, one kilometer south of Dietramszell, and visitors can reach it by walking or cycling from town.

A covered pit behind the altar marks where pilgrims historically sought healing, connecting to a legend of refugees finding sanctuary during the Thirty Years War.
