Pilgrimage churches

World-renowned churches and spiritual places

Churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary and pilgrimage churches continue to shape the village landscapes of Berchtesgaden and the Rupertiwinkel to this day.

On the Hirschau peninsula on Lake Königssee, the world-famous pilgrimage church of St. Bartholomew awaits you. The pilgrimage church of Maria Gern is instantly recognizable—one of the region’s most iconic photo motifs.

Others may be less well known, yet it is precisely their peace and quiet that make them such special spiritual places.
