    The name Sammarei derives from the popular variant of Sancta Maria. The original chapel, dating from before 1619 (a chapel was already mentioned in 1521), has been preserved; Isaak Bader built the present Baroque church around this chapel.

    The 👼Rascal Angel 👼 in the Sammarei pilgrimage church

    "...Probably the most unusual angel in the world is absolutely atypical for a Baroque angel.
    Angels are usually depicted genderless...


    Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear why the Sammarei angel is called "the" angel...

    The wings aren't angel wings, but cockchafer wings.

    In one hand he holds a drinking cup, with the other he's showing us a bird.

    And he's even wearing two different shoes.

    Some say the Sammarei angel is the guardian angel of the slovenly." 😇😂😇

    Thanks to dia-niederbayern.de/sammarei.html 👍

    Sanctuary of Sammarei
    Bavarian Assisi or German Loreto is often called collecting. With its monumental carved altar "unique in the ecclesiastical furnishing art of southern Germany" (Dehio). Built over a completely preserved wooden chapel from the Middle Ages, “the oldest wooden church in Germany, the oldest block church in Central Europe” (Prof. Ahrens). The largest place of pilgrimage in the diocese after Altötting.
