In 1593, the Niederaltaich monastery built a chapel in Weißenregen under Abbot Bernhard III Hilz, which was replaced by a larger one in 1611 by the collaborating communities of Weißenregen and Hafenberg. The current pilgrimage church was built between 1750 and 1765 after the existing chapel had become too small and dilapidated. The altars and pulpit were created by the Kötzting sculptor Johann Paulus Hager (1698-1769), only the high altar guards come from the previous altar.

A very beautiful church on a hill with an unobstructed view of Bad Kötzting. Built in the Rococo style, the church dates from the 18th century; it boasts a richly decorated interior, the centerpiece being the nave pulpit by Johannes Paulus Hager from 1758.
