    Grotto in Buchholz, Wangs
    The Wangs Mariengrotto was created on the initiative of Pastor Künzle in 1912/1913, and the bell tower was added in 1916. A cross is located on the vaulted hill in front of the tower.
    A Pietà (Mother of God with suffering Jesus) in the Nazarene style was placed in the grotto.
