Wallfahrtskirche

The Wallfahrtskirche stands on a hilltop surrounded by vineyards, featuring stone walls, Gothic architecture, and a distinctive wooden Madonna statue on the ceiling.

Built in the 15th century, the church became a significant religious site when a Brotherhood of the Rosary established their presence there in 1642.

The Madonna of the Rosary, created by sculptor Tilmann Riemenschneider in 1524, represents a central piece of German late Gothic religious art.

Tours operate from April through October, Thursday to Monday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 2 euros per person.

In 1963, thieves stole the Madonna statue, but thanks to local efforts and investigations, authorities recovered and restored it to its original place.
