    When visiting the pilgrimage church of Maria Loreto, one should also visit the nearby Holy Sepulcher. It is a bit off in a wooded area and is well worth seeing. It was restored in the course of renovations to the nearby church in 2010.

      Loreto is a city in Italy. According to legend, at the time of the Crusaders, angels brought the Holy Family home from Nazareth here.
      In fact, it has been proven that the Angeli noble family (in German: the angels) brought the stones of the house across the sea to Loreto and rebuilt the house of the Holy Family according to the original floor plan. In the 15th century, a basilica was added to the house, and from then on the veneration of the Virgin Mary of Loreto spread throughout Europe. In the Czech Bohemia, which belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg monarchy until 1918 and only afterwards to the newly founded Czech Republic, various Maria Loretos were built after the Counter-Reformation in the 17th and 18th centuries.

        It now serves as a memorial for unborn and prematurely deceased children.
        The chapel dates back to the 17th century.
