The small church is located directly in front of the old town in Lichtenfels. The flat-roofed hall building from 1390 has often been rebuilt and can also be visited.

The Hospital Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in Lichtenfels is a Gothic church whose origins date back to a foundation established in 1390. Severely damaged during the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt in 1653, with the nave being raised. The interior of the church is a flat-roofed hall building, with furnishings dating from the early 18th century. The altar area received a modern touch in the 1970s with a depiction of the Risen Christ by Hubert Weber. The church is located southwest of the old town on Bamberger Straße and today belongs to the parish of Our Lady.

The hospital church is the starting point of a historic Stations of the Cross dating from 1714. This leads from the city up to the famous pilgrimage church of Vierzehnheiligen with seven sandstone stations.
