The Marienkapelle Patrona Bavariae in Ficht was built in 1963. The place of worship is located in the immediate vicinity of a lushly painted farm on the eastern loop of the long-distance hiking trail Pfaffenwinkel from Weilheim to Peissenberg.

The Patrona Bavariae Chapel in Ficht was built in 1963 as the fulfillment of a vow. During the Second World War, the farmer's wife of the Jacklbauernhof farm promised to build a chapel if her sons returned home safe and sound. Her wish was granted – and out of gratitude, this small house of worship was built in honor of the Virgin Mary.

But those who linger here may also think of those whose hopes were not fulfilled. Happiness and misfortune are often closely intertwined – in war as in peace.

The theme of "happiness and misfortune" invites reflection on the gift of life, fate, and gratitude – and in this, one may find solace and a sense of connection.
