Pilgrimage Church of the Holy Blood in Einsbach

The red vertical lines on the church tower are striking. It is a rare fine gothic stave and tracery that occupies the tower continuously on the outer walls and gives it its characteristic appearance. It is square at the bottom and octagonal at the top. It is the only octagonal tower that has survived from the Gothic period.Founding legend: A shepherd wants to take the communion wafer home from the Einsbach parish church and loses it on the way. At this point, a source arises; it is captured and later built over with the church. Since the water was said to have healing effects, a small pilgrimage took place here until the Enlightenment at the end of the 18th century.

According to legend, the church was built in 1004. Since it is not listed in the Conradinian register, the property register of the Diocese of Freising drawn up in 1315/16, it is assumed that it was built much later, not before the middle of the 14th century. The first written mention of the church can be found in a document from the Fürstenfeld monastery from 1430. In the 1670s, the church was rebuilt and refurbished in the Baroque style.
