    After the Second World War, a Mariengrotte was built, which was inaugurated in 1949. Like many Marian grottoes, it was built after the horrors of World War II, out of gratitude from the people that the place was protected from major destruction and the happy return of soldiers. The Mariengrotte was inaugurated in 1949.

      Very beautiful grotto with seats. After the Second World War, the Marian Grotto was built in gratitude and inaugurated in 1949.

        Here is the detailed history of the construction of the grotto after World War II:

        An old quarry, which once also provided the building material for the St. Michael Church in Horbach, was selected on the spot to create a replica of the Massabielle grotto near Lourdes for Horbach.
