Sankt Jakobus und Laurentius in Biberbach, Catholic pilgrimage church in Biberbach, Germany

The Sankt Jakobus und Laurentius church stands with its tower on the north side of the nave, featuring Gothic elements and corner obelisks.

The construction of Sankt Jakobus began in 1684 and received its consecration in 1697 by Augsburg Auxiliary Bishop Johannes Eustache Egolf von Westernach.

The ceiling frescoes, created in 1753 by Balthasar Riepp, illustrate the veneration of the cross and reference the pilgrimages to this location.

The church maintains its function as both a parish church and pilgrimage destination, located at Am Kirchberg 22 in the Augsburg district of Bavaria.

The church houses a Romanesque wooden crucifix from approximately 1220, known as the Herrgöttle von Biberbach, which survived the Thirty Years' War.
