    In 1600 Georg Schaur, who later became mayor of Rosenheim, undertook a pilgrimage to Rome and Loreto. When he fell seriously ill, he vowed to found a chapel if he returned home in good health. It was finally completed and inaugurated in 1636.

      Loreto Chapel
      In the holy year of 1600, the young Georg Schaur (1579-1652) from Rosenheim went on a pilgrimage to Rome and Loreto. When the later innkeeper and mayor fell seriously ill in the pilgrimage site on the Adriatic, he vowed to build a chapel in his hometown on his happy return, corresponding to Casa Santa, the house of St. Mary, to edify. After three decades, Georg Schaur and his wife Margaretha Kall (died 1637) were able to finance the promised chapel construction, but the invasion of the Swedes in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War and the outbreak of the plague in 1634 prevented construction from beginning.
