Kapellplatz, Cultural heritage square in Altötting, Germany.

Kapellplatz is a central square in Altötting surrounded by several religious buildings and monuments arranged in a coherent layout. The space is defined by chapels, a church, and other protected structures that form an integrated architectural ensemble.

The square has been the goal of Roman Catholic pilgrimage since the Middle Ages, centred on the Gnadenkapelle with its Black Madonna. On 19 November 1980 Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass here before 60,000 believers. On 11 September 2006 Pope Benedict XVI held a Mass on the square during his first official trip to Bavaria, before tens of thousands of faithful.

This square has served for centuries as a gathering place for religious processions and celebrations that shape the rhythm of local life. The buildings surrounding it reflect how deeply this location is connected to the faith of the people who live here.

The square is easily accessible from multiple directions and parking areas are located nearby. It is best explored on foot, allowing visitors to take time viewing the various structures at a comfortable pace.

The square is a protected ensemble that includes the pilgrimage shops and two free-standing fountains. Pope John Paul II celebrated Mass here on 19 November 1980 before 60,000 believers, and Pope Benedict XVI did the same on 11 September 2006 during his first official trip to Bavaria.
