Wallfahrtskirche Höchstberg, Catholic pilgrimage church in Gundelsheim, Germany
The Wallfahrtskirche Höchstberg features a single-nave hall construction with an eastern orientation and connects to the former grace chapel at its choir section.
First mentioned in 1328 in a papal bull by Pope John XXII, the church was initially built around 1300 and underwent multiple reconstructions through the centuries.
The church maintains its role as a pilgrimage destination, drawing numerous visitors who participate in religious ceremonies and traditional regional gatherings throughout the year.
The church building provides parking facilities directly on site and includes restrooms for visitors, with the local tavern Kuhberg-Schänke located nearby.
According to local tradition, the church expansion in the late 17th century was prompted by an apparition of Mary with baby Jesus in a walnut tree.
