Pilgerkirche

The circular church building extends 50 meters in diameter with a tent-shaped design featuring 32 wooden columns that rise to 23.5 meters at the center point.

The church opened in 1999 as a replacement for a former pilgrimage tent, becoming a central location for the Schönstatt movement's religious gatherings and ceremonies.

The building incorporates Spanish granite floors and Siberian larch wood under the seating areas, while Chilean artist Fernandes created the tabernacle and cross installations.

The church accommodates 1350 seated visitors and maintains regular opening hours for both religious services and individual prayer sessions throughout the week.

The structure's load-bearing system consists of 220 cubic meters of fir and spruce timber, with a pressure ring at 12.6 meters featuring large windows for natural illumination.
