Wallfahrtskirche Maria Schnee, Catholic pilgrimage church in Aufhausen, Germany.

The Wallfahrtskirche Maria Schnee exhibits Baroque architecture with an octagonal nave covered by a flat dome and curved facade with rounded main portal.

Johann Georg Seidenbusch established the original wooden chapel in 1668 after receiving a statue of Mary, leading to the construction of the current church from 1736.

The church celebrates its titular feast of Mary of the Snows on August 5th with an evening mass on the church square followed by a light procession.

The religious complex stands on an elevation north of the Große Laber valley, making it visible from considerable distances across the Regensburg district.

The northwest diagonal chapel contains a remarkable altar painting 'Madonna in the Hall' from 1515, attributed to Augsburg painter Jörg Breu the Elder.
