A rear portal on the right-hand nave wall of the church leads to the cloister with its attached chapels (including the Tilly crypt).

In 1489 the pilgrimages to Altötting began and the large number of pilgrims made it necessary to build a new church. After the laying of the foundation stone on August 1, 1499 under provost Johannes Mair (1488–1508), the current church was built as the last late Gothic hall church in the Bavarian region. The consecration took place on September 28th and 29th 1511 by Bishop Berthold Pürstinger von Chiemsee. Its builders were Ulrich Häntler and Jörg Perger, who lived in Burghausen. [1]
From the previous building from the 13th century, the two towers, the vestibule with the gallery above and the south wall have been preserved. The elaborately carved door leaves of the north and south portals from the beginning of the 16th century bear figural reliefs. After this work, their creator is called the master of the Altöttinger doors.
The church is located in the immediate vicinity of the Gnadenkapelle on the southern edge of the Kapellplatz. It is 52 meters long, 18 meters wide and 13 meters high in the central nave. The slender towers are 48 meters high. The residence of the former Stiftspröpste is attached directly to it.

Here is the "Death of Eding" high up next to the entrance on a cabinet clock. (Eding is called Altötting in the Bavarian region).
