Wallfahrtskirche St. Leonhard, Baroque pilgrimage church in Kaufering, Germany

The Wallfahrtskirche St. Leonhard stands on the southern edge of Kaufering, featuring a three-sided octagonal apse and an octagonal bell turret with an onion dome.

The stone church replaced a wooden chapel that collapsed in 1712, receiving its consecration from Auxiliary Bishop Johann Jakob von Mayr of Augsburg in 1723.

Monthly pilgrimage services occur on the 13th, while the November Leonhardifahrt celebration brings together the local community to honor Saint Leonard.

The church contains three bells, including two from 1725 and one added during the 1975 restoration, along with an organ crafted by Albert Reiser.

According to records, the veneration image arrived by flooding of the Lech River, repeatedly appearing in a meadow despite being placed in an oak tree.
