Lourdes grottoes can be found all over Europe. This one in Oberachern was inaugurated in 1996 after the Mary and Bernadette figures were in a lime tree near the Antonius Chapel for a long time and at some point fell into a Sleeping Beauty sleep there. The Lourdes Grottoes refer to the appearance of the Mother of God to St. Bernadette, which is said to have first taken place in 1858 in a grotto at Massabielle near Lourdes in southern France. Hardly any other place is more associated with miracles and healing than Massabielle.

As Lourdesgrotte Mariengrotten are called, which represent replicas of the Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes in southern France and Our Lady of Lourdes. The statue of Mary originally stood by the Antonius Chapel in a tree trunk.

Beautifully laid out and well-kept. There are even candles. A place of peace.
