A lightning strike struck the tower of the Marienkapelle on May 7, 1790 and caused considerable damage to the building.[33] The picture of Mary on the tower fell into the lake.[33] The interior statue of Our Lady with Baby Jesus was buried under a cairn and was later replaced, although undamaged.[33] Kirchner Betzer sold it in 1842 to the Mother Superior of the Ursuline Convent in Würzburg[33][34][35] who was staying in Kissingen for a cure.

The tower was restored by Philipp Krug from Trimburg.[33] Johann Adam Schuh from Neustadt/Saale made a new image of the Virgin Mary, which was gilded by Johann Nepomuk Lenz (painter from Neustadt/Saale).[33] The Kissingen master mason Jörg Joseph Ströhlein renovated altars, choir and sacristy with "food and paint".[33] The master glaziers Joseph Weber and Georg Stehling renewed the windows.[33]

During the robbery of the French armies on June 28, 1796, "3 good cloths lying on the altars" were stolen from the Marienkapelle, despite the deployment of a security guard
