Mariastein Abbey is, after Einsiedeln, the second most important place of pilgrimage in Switzerland. It is known for its chapel dedicated to Mary, located in the Grotto, as well as its beautiful Gothic architecture and works of art.

Next to the church entrance is the entrance to the Maria im Stein grotto. It goes down 59 steps, the corridors with all the memorial plaques that lead to the grotto are also well worth seeing.
