A miraculous image of Mary ensured the inauguration of the pilgrimage chapel. The construction of the Werra Bridge was financed from the income. The place of pilgrimage ended its charisma with the Reformation; Instead, Count Georg Ernst von Henneberg-Schleusingen had a hospital built for the poor.
A witch burning took place in Grimmenthal in 1627. The widow Barbara Urff was charged and executed.

Grimmenthal was once a place of pilgrimage to the Virgin Mary. Pilgrims came here and presented their requests. Nothing remains of the former pilgrimage site, but an association has erected this reconstruction of the wayside shrine.
