Chapel of St. Anne - Lobendava-Anenský vrch (Lobendau-Annaberg)

The late Gothic statue of St. Anna was the object of worship of all pilgrims. According to the legend, in 1716, the merchant traveler Schlenkrich, who was traveling through Saxony, saw children playing a statue of St. Anna on a string pulled around. He bought the statue from them and dedicated it to the Church of the Visitation in Lobendava. The statue of St. Anne was originally placed there on a pillar, but finally brought into the chapel on the Joachimsberg. From there she miraculously walked several times to the Annaberg. Here, on the layout of the Greek Cross, a Baroque chapel was built in the years 1775-1777 and extended in 1857. The main altar was donated by the owner Franz Wenzel, Count of Salm-Reifferscheidt and his mother Carolina von Dietrichstein. In the 19th century, the place of pilgrimage was completed by the Stations of the Cross (1834), the statue of Jesus Christ with Apostles and the chapel with the Holy Sepulcher.

At the time of the pilgrimage octave after the feast of St. Anna (July 26) celebrated the otherwise quiet Annaberg with the inhabitants of Lobendau and the neighboring villages a big folk festival. Before World War II, Annaberg visited a few thousand pilgrims in summer time. There were also many Catholic Sorbs, who then went on to the Porciunkula Ablassfest in the Loreto Chapel pilgrimage to Rumburg.

The Annaberg Festival was popularly called "Madlmorcht" before World War II. Probably because, as well as other popular festivals, this pilgrimage also offered a suitable opportunity for acquaintances of young people and for the bride's search.

The baroque chapel of St. Anne was built in 1775-1777. In 1857, part of the chapel was added and given a pseudo-Gothic look. The chapel originally had the floor plan of a Greek cross, which was later extended to the east.

Unfortunately, you cannot take a look inside.

Next to it is a Garden of Gethsemane with impressive statues of the praying Jesus Christ and the sleeping apostles. According to the Bible, Jesus lay and prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem below the Mount of Olives on the night of his arrest and later crucifixion.

A Way of the Cross leads around the top of the hill.
