The Lourdes Grotto is a quiet place for worship and prayer.
Built according to the world-famous model of the famous pilgrimage of Massabielle in Lourdes (southern France). Elevated on the side, the figure of Mary of the Immaculate Conception is emblazoned.
The grotto was inaugurated on October 29, 1905.
Several times a year prayers and services take place.

The Lourdes Grotto, located near the Mitterhof monastery estate, was built in 1904 based on the world-famous model and is a quiet place for devotion and prayer. Located directly on the barrier-free and paved hiking trail no. 8, the grotto is a popular destination for guests and locals.

The model of all the Lourdes grottos is the historic pilgrimage Massabielle in the sacred area of Lourdes in southern France, where in 1858 the pious country girl Bernadette Soubirous experienced a total of 18 times the mysterious apparition of Saint Mary. Out of this miraculous event, one of the largest pilgrimage sites in Europe has been developed. Every year it is visited by three to four million pilgrims from all over the world, including more than 60,000 patients seeking comfort and refreshment. Both caves are decorated with the unmistakable figure of Mary of the Immaculata Conceptio, the Immaculate Conception.
