The pilgrimage and parish church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary Dorfen on the Ruprechtsberg above Dorfen is an almost complete new building from 1784. After the collapse of the nave vault in 1782, Mathias Rösler rebuilt it, incorporating the late Gothic choir and tower substructure. Inside the church is an altar by the famous brothers Cosmas Damian and Egid Quirin Asam.

In the inner courtyard there is also the shoulder wound chapel, a late baroque building from 1715. The chapel had a 3/8 end in the east at today's entrance, as old views show. Inside are the figures of the former neo-Romanesque high altar of the parish church

The patronage "Maria (or in another spelling :) Assumption" of this church refers to one of the many days of commemoration or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Maria. It goes back to the feast of their physical acceptance into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15th.
In many rural areas it is customary that on this day herbal bundles (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) are collected by the population and blessed in the festival service.
