Seen from the outside, the Loreta in Bor (German Haid) is not a striking structure. However, if you go inside the chapel, you will be surprised by the square cloister and its paintings. But the highlight is the "Holy Hut" with the black Maddona. Unfortunately, the pilgrimages there were already abandoned in the 18th century and only renewed in the 1970s. It is thanks to the priest Andreas Reidl that the sanctuary was renovated again.
At the Loreto Festival at the beginning of September you can visit the Loreto with guided tours.

This chapel, which is worth seeing, is located next to BOR Castle.
The tour was only in Czech with an information sheet in German.

The patronage of this shrine, dedicated to the Madonna, refers to the town of Loreto (Marche region, Italy). This is one of the great and important Marian pilgrimage sites in Europe, along with Lourdes in the French Pyrenees and Fatima in Portugal. Unlike the other two places mentioned, however, Loreto has not become known through apparitions of the Mother of God. Here, pilgrims can present something very tangible: Mary's childhood home in Nazareth (Israel). Her parents—not mentioned by name in the biblical writings of the New Testament—are mentioned in apocryphal traditions: Saint Anne and Saint Joachim are thus the grandparents of Jesus Christ (their common feast day in the calendar of saints is July 26).
Crusaders probably dismantled the venerated building in Nazareth and brought it to Europe when the era of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land came to an end towards the end of the 13th century. But this very sober assumption is countered by a much more interesting legend: According to this, four angels carried out the translation and flew the house over the Mediterranean (one of the depictions in the spandrels of the cloister shows this scene).
