Wallfahrtskirche Rosenthal, Catholic pilgrimage church in Rosenthal, Saxony, Germany

Wallfahrtskirche Rosenthal is a Baroque hall church built in 1778, with a high hipped roof and a square west tower topped by a curved hood and lantern. Its three aisles of five bays are covered by barrel vaults with lunettes resting on stout cross piers, and flat pilasters frame round-arched windows.

Rosenthal has been a pilgrimage site since at least the 16th century, and since 1754 the church has been under the patronage of the Cistercian abbey of Marienstern in Panschwitz-Kuckau. The present building was erected in 1778. In April 1945 it burned out during fighting; the outer walls and vaults survived, the roof was first covered with straw and later with tiles, and the interior was finished in neo-baroque forms by 1952.

The church is dedicated to Holy Mary of the Linden Tree and has been a pilgrimage site since at least the 16th century; since 1754 it has belonged to the Cistercian abbey of Marienstern in Panschwitz-Kuckau. Its Upper Sorbian name is Putniska cyrkej w Róžeńće, and it remains the central pilgrimage place of the Catholic Sorbs of the area.

The church stands in Rosenthal, part of the municipality of Ralbitz-Rosenthal in the district of Bautzen, Saxony. The neighbouring Administratur, a two-storey building of 1755, has a sandstone plaque above its door with the coat of arms of Cordula Sommer, abbess of Marienstern. The parish belongs to the Diocese of Dresden-Meissen; access follows the pilgrimage and parish calendar, so confirm times with the parish of St. Katharina Ralbitz.

The grace image is a small Marian statue from the second half of the 15th century, kept in an altar assembled from parts of a late Baroque altar taken from St. Marienthal Abbey in Ostritz-Marienthal. Flanking it in niches are large painted wooden figures of Saints Benedict and Bernard.
