In an exposed position, directly above on the more than 600 meters high Pilgramsberg, stands the white St. Ursula church. Since the Middle Ages there is a small church up here, but only since the 17th century pilgrimages take place here. At that time, a mother went up here with her son, who was blinded by medical treatment. When they both prayed in the small church, the son suddenly saw again. The miracle spread quickly, and a few years later, the new church was built, which you can still admire today.

The pilgrimage church of St. Ursula on the 620 m high Pilgramsberg is an attraction for believers and hikers. It is a small building from the late 17th century in an exposed location with a wide panoramic view. The Marian pilgrimage has its origins in 1839. The walls covered with votive images and several late Gothic wooden figures decorate the pilgrimage church. An extensive interior renovation took place in 2016. The church is open during the day.

St. Ursula's Pilgrimage Church

The small, simple Baroque building from the late 17th century stands on late Gothic foundations in its eastern part. The recessed choir has a single bay, a three-sided octagonal end, and a semi-dome with lunettes. The nave has four window axes, a simple west gallery, and a modern transverse room projecting to the north, dating from 1905. The tower rises in front of the south portal to the church's eaves, square in shape; on the upper floor, it is octagonal and has a pointed spire. The ceiling paintings were created in 1913, and the altars around 1910, with Gothic and Baroque elements.
On the high altar is the miraculous image, a copy of the Altötting pilgrimage image. The figure originally dates back to the 17th century, but was stolen during the night of October 8-9, 1980. In the hope of being cured of a serious cancer, Mr. Josef Stöckl Jr. from Eggerszell carved a replica of the original and presented it to the Pilgramsberg residents. The Madonna was carried to the pilgrimage church by Mr. Stöckl on Easter Vigil 1982 and placed there.
On consoles to the sides are the wooden figures of Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Mother of God, created around 1500. On the northern side altar is the late Gothic figural group of Anne Selbdritt, also created around 1500. In the central niche of the southern side altar is the figure of St. Wendelin from around 1680, kneeling before the Christ Child appearing in the clouds. On the choir arch to the south is the late Gothic figure of St. Ursula, created around 1460, with an arrow as an attribute. On the north wall of the transept is an early Rococo crucifix.
