Sankt Mariä Himmelfahrt, Gothic pilgrim church in Xanten, Germany
The church combines a Gothic choir with baroque extensions and features a neo-Gothic tower built between 1898 and 1900.
Following a legend of a healing miracle in 1430, Count Adolf II of Kleve constructed the initial chapel between 1438 and 1441.
The church houses a significant altar from 1441 with paintings by Barthel Bruyn the Elder and frescos dating from 1460.
Located at Klosterstraße 3 in Marienbaum, the church remains an active pilgrimage site welcoming 15,000 visitors annually.
The church contains a Van Dam organ from 1894 with 25 registers in neo-rococo style and seven bronze bells cast by Petit & Edelbrock.
