The diverse appearances and visions of the seven Heroldsbach seer girls began on October 9, 1949 with the sign of the Triune God above the birch grove on the edge of the Thurn Castle Park. D.
During the three-year period of appearance, up to October 31, 1952, Our Lady appeared mostly in a blue cloak and a golden crown, but also in different colored robes.
After staying far above the birch trees for the first quarter of the year, Our Lady came closer on January 13, 1950 and thereafter regularly. The visionary girls were able to touch the apparition like a living person and felt a strong current of force flowing into them.
During the three years the heavenly apparitions came almost every day and often several times a day.
On the holy mountain next to the chapel there are wooden crosses that pilgrims still carry today.
On October 31, 1952 Our Lady said goodbye and ascended to heaven with a blessing. The Sacred Heart Altar stands at this point.

This place is.... hard to put into words.... and shows that faith - no matter who or what - can move mountains.
