St. Oswald, Catholic pilgrimage church in Boßweiler, Germany

The church features a late baroque hall structure with a choir facing south, incorporating elements of an older Gothic chapel into its design.

The construction of St. Oswald took place between 1700 and 1707 under the guidance of architect Hans Fischer during a period of regional religious development.

The Boßweiler Altar from 1485 represents medieval craftsmanship through its detailed Christmas depictions and stands among the Palatinate's most valuable religious artworks.

The church maintains regular services and houses historical artifacts, including a relic of St. Oswald's skull and the Merz family burial site.

A memorial tablet inside commemorates Colonel Albrecht Mertz von Quirnheim, who participated in the 1944 assassination attempt against Adolf Hitler.
