    The pilgrimage church of St. Quirin is a very beautiful baroque building, both inside and out, the altarpiece shows the Pentecost festival to which two angels point, which is entwined with flowers. The pilgrimage to St. Quirin on the Botzerberg is surrounded by old linden trees, where you also have a beautiful view of the surrounding area, a quiet place to stay.

      The baroque pilgrimage church of St. Quirin is visible from afar between old linden trees on the Botzerberg. Presumably it goes back to a medieval castle, the chapel of which was dedicated to St. Quirin. The pilgrimage to St. Quirin has existed since the beginning of the 16th century. Particularly worth seeing are the magnificent acanthus high altar in horseshoe shape, the miraculous image, the monstrance set with precious stones and what is probably the oldest church organ in the Upper Palatinate.

        Two angels on the acanthus arches point to the altarpiece. It depicts the drama of Pentecost - the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on Mary and the apostles.
