Our shrine belonging to the parish of Szekszárd, the Hermitage Chapel, was built between 1757-58 on a beautiful hillside on the western border of the town. The chapel closes with a single-nave polygonal sanctuary, and the nave is integrated into the tower. On the west side, a square-shaped sacristy joins the sanctuary.

We know from the description of palatine Pál Eszterházy that it was already a popular shrine in the early Middle Ages (11th century), which was destroyed during the Turkish occupation. The name of the place is explained by a multi-layered tradition, which is also common, once a hermit found a place to live in this place.

After the Turkish conquest, the religious life of the city flourished in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and with it its shrine. The chapel, which was about to collapse on the outskirts of the city, was rebuilt and enlarged by the faithful. The former chapel was associated with the cult of St. Anne, which was associated with the birth of Mary after the reconstruction.
