Wallfahrtskirche Maria Einsiedel in Gernsheim, Gothic pilgrimage church in Gernsheim, Germany.
The rectangular stone church features a prominent entrance portico supported by four columns and contains two revered Marian statues in its sanctuary.
The first documented mention of the church appears in a 1493 papal indulgence letter, signed by 16 cardinals in Rome, referring to a dilapidated chapel.
The church houses two significant Marian statues: a Pieta from 1400 and a Madonna figure brought from Bohemia during the Thirty Years War.
The pilgrimage church organizes major celebrations on July 2nd for the Visitation of Mary and September 14th for the Feast of the Cross.
According to local records, the original Pieta statue repeatedly returned to its discovery site in an elderberry bush despite attempts to relocate it.
