Here you will find the northernmost Marian pilgrimage site in Germany with the “Chapel of Grace to the Sorrowful Mother of God”, the Antonius Chapel and the pilgrimage basilica.

The Antonius chapel, built in 1868 with a hexagonal floor plan, is right behind the Chapel of Mercy. As the successor to the prayer house from 1652, it originally served as a covered outdoor altar on which the holy sacrifice was offered during the main pilgrimage season, when the chapel of mercy could not accommodate the crowds of pilgrims.
In 1976 it was restored, especially the figure of St. Anthony of Padua above the altar. Today the chapel is also used to lay out the deceased shortly before burial.
