    The Catholic parish and pilgrimage church of the Assumption of Mary is a listed church building in Spabrücken in the Bad Kreuznach district. The church is part of a monastery that is currently used by the Catholic community of Sisters of Life

      The construction of the later three-winged monastery complex began in 1682 with the installation of the vaulted cellar and the new sacristy and ultimately lasted until 1732. A year before completion, a new church building was also started, replacing the old Gothic church from 1359. The first service in the new baroque building was held in 1736 and the church was consecrated in 1746.

        The mighty church building was intended to express the triumph of the Counter-Reformation, which ended Spabrücken's more than 100-year-old Protestant period. Since then, the place has been a Catholic stronghold in a predominantly Protestant or mixed-denominational environment. The pilgrimages in September and the flower-bedecked processions on Corpus Christi are also demonstrations of conservatism. In contrast to this is the grandiose view from Weißenfels (only 3 km above) to the Rheingau, Odenwald and Donnersberg.

          In this region, gentle hiking is more popular. Focusing on the essentials is a pleasant experience. The landscape is not spectacular but beautiful.

              A magnificent church with the "Black Madonna of Soon."

              For Hildegard pilgrims, small stamp stickers are available at the literature stand, which can be affixed to their pilgrimage passes.

                It's a pilgrimage, so it's very important for me to visit every church. This one is particularly beautiful.
