The Baroque pilgrimage and parish church of St. Mary on the Hohenrechberg near Schwäbisch Gmünd was the place of pilgrimage of the Counts of Rechberg and is still parish church of Rechberg and a popular destination of pilgrimages. From the former ancestral castle of the Rechberger to the church, the path is flanked by a Way of the Cross from 1891.
Since the 15th century, a pilgrimage site has been proven on the mountain. Together with the ruin Hohenrechberg and the three imperial mountains, it is a landmark of the region.
