Marienberg, Pilgrimage church in Burghausen, Germany.
Description
The Wallfahrtskirche Maria Königin des Rosenkranzes stands prominently on a hilltop plateau at 445 meters elevation, featuring two distinctive towers and exemplifying Rococo architecture in Bavaria.
History
Originally documented in 1143, the church underwent complete reconstruction between 1760 and 1764 under the direction of master builder Franz Alois Mayr from Trostberg, replacing earlier medieval structures.
Culture
The interior displays exceptional frescoes by Munich painter Martin Heigl depicting scenes from Mary's life, while the central altarpiece houses a 17th-century miraculous image of Mary as Queen of Heaven.
Practical
Visitors access the church via a symbolic staircase of 50 steps representing rosary prayers, with guided tours available through the Burghausen parish office during regular opening hours.
Did you know?
Local residents successfully prevented the church's planned demolition in 1806 through protests, with Bavarian King Ludwig I ultimately supporting its preservation and the return of the altar in 1815.
