      The history of the Marienberg Church dates back to the 15th century. It was built between 1474 and 1478 after the original church was destroyed by fire. The new building was built under the direction of the master builder Hans Wechselberger.

      Architecture

      The Marienberg Church is an impressive example of late Gothic architecture. The tall, slender tower and the richly decorated main portal are particularly noteworthy. The interior is characterized by Gothic vaults and contains numerous works of art and altars that were added over the centuries. A special highlight is the late Gothic high altar from 1518, which is considered a masterpiece of woodcarving.

      Marian veneration and pilgrimage

      The Marienberg Church has been an important place of pilgrimage for centuries. Believers come here to venerate the Mother of God and ask for help and protection. The church houses a grace statue of Saint Mary, which is the destination of many pilgrims.

      Significance

      The Marienberg Church plays a central role in the religious and cultural life of the region. It is not only a place of worship, but also an important historical monument. Its location on the Marienberg also offers an impressive view of the old town of Burghausen and the surrounding landscape.

      Current use

It is regularly used for church services and religious celebrations.

        The church at Marienberg was continually rebuilt, expanded and rebuilt in 1760. Abbot Emmanuel II Mayr commissioned the court mason master Mayr (1723-1771) and the Munich painter Martin Heigl, who decorated the church with magnificent frescoes, which mainly had Mary as their theme.
