    The Sanctuary of the Holy Blood

    The chapel is located in the middle of the cemetery next to the Middle Ebrach on the northern outskirts.

    The pilgrimage church, built in 1467, was replaced in 1594 by a new building because it was too small, which was not consecrated until 1597. The two-bay hall church has a choir supported by buttresses with a 5/8 end, which is spanned inside with a ribbed vault on consoles. A hexagonal roof turret covered with a tent roof rises from the gable roof above the choir.
    The high altar dates from the late 17th century. The altarpiece from 1651 shows the Last Supper. The pulpit was built under Abbot Wilhelm II Roßhirt of Ebrach Monastery.
