Tips

The Trinity Chapel stands on the former monastery area of the immediately imperial Cistercian Abbey of Waldsassen and was incorporated into it. The oldest previous building was built under Abbot Daniel in the second half of the 12th century to contain an image of the Trinity that had been attached to a tree by a lay brother and was soon considered to be miraculous.

The Hussite Wars, the Landshut War of Succession, the Reformation - secularization of the Waldsassen Monastery between 1571 and 1669 - and the Thirty Years' War brought destruction and decay and multiple restoration of the chapel. Even before the re-Catholicization, a new, modest chapel was built in the 1640s after the sick had been cured. After the restoration of the prince abbey, the current Trinity Church with its original symbolic form was built parallel to the new construction of the abbey building - also headed by Georg Dientzenhofer. Dientzenhofer died in 1689, shortly before the building was completed. The solemn church consecration took place in 1711 by the Regensburg auxiliary bishop Albert Ernst von Wartenberg.
