History of the pilgrimage church

Loh was first mentioned as an independent parish in 1266. In 1300 a church appeared in the history books for the first time and slowly developed into a place of pilgrimage. This was created because of the Loher Cross, which a Roman officer had erected in the 5th century. It was first thrown into a swamp by the pagan Bavarians after the Romans had withdrawn and then publicly venerated in the 8th century when Duke Theodo II of Bavaria called for the Christianization of his country.

The Loh parish was later incorporated into the Stephansposching parish, which was handed over to the Benedictine monastery in Metten in 1615 for care. Since the pilgrimage to Loh experienced a real boom in the 15th century, construction of the new church began in 1689, which was concluded with the consecration by Abbot Benedikt von Metten in 1706 and the erection of the tower cross in 1714. The building was managed by the Munich court architect Viscardi; The Deggendorf city mason Benedikt Schöttl is also listed among those involved in the measure.
