Wallfahrtskirche Hohenrechberg

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.

The Hohenrechberg pilgrimage church is still a little above the castle. On the way to the castle you will pass a crossroads.

Very beautiful pilgrimage church which is open for viewing. There is also a restaurant with nice seating outside to just have a drink or ice cream, there are free toilets (you do not have to be a guest in the restaurant), a small playground and of course beautiful views in all directions.

Coming from the castle ruins go around the church: there are beautiful benches, which invite you to linger with a beautiful view of the church and the Rems valley towards Gmünd.

Small but beautiful ⛪️pilgrimage church ⛪️located on the plateau of the Hoher Rechberg⛰. A wonderful view of the surrounding area 🌅 and an economy 🍟 to strengthen the 🍻 physical well-being 🍦 rewards the steep climb ⛰.

Nice chapel and a nice little hike there.

Around the church you can discover a lot, for example the monument. Nice views in different directions.

The medieval Hohenrechberg Castle and the pilgrimage church are known as a duo in the entire region and can be seen from afar. A pilgrimage church without visiting the ruins, or vice versa, is almost impossible.

The interior is worth seeing, if it is open.

Very interesting church that can be visited. Visit is recommended.
