Here you'll be reminded of one of the greatest names in beer history: Josef Groll, the inventor of Pilsner, came from Vilshofen. The small chapel lies peacefully on the way to Aldersbach and makes your tour a true pilgrimage "in the footsteps of Pilsner".

The Groll Chapel in Vilshofen – a monument to beer culture. The small Groll Chapel stands by the roadside in the Kreppe area – a tranquil place closely linked to the town's brewing tradition. It was built in the 19th century by the Groll family, which also included Joseph Groll, considered the inventor of the famous Pilsner beer.
