        Pilgrimage Church of St. Walburga

        Built in 1628, this hall church replaced the castle chapel of the medieval, now ruined castle. Its two chapels, each with a semicircular apse and attached to the nave to the north and south, give it the appearance of a cruciform church.

        The church tower, topped with a pointed spire, stands in the corner of the southern chapel and the retracted, three-sided choir to the east.

        The church was partially destroyed and its furnishings looted twice: in 1556 during the Reformation and in 1627 during the Thirty Years' War. The citizens of Cham rebuilt the destroyed parts in 1832.
        The interiors of the nave and the chapels are covered with flat ceilings, and the interior of the choir has a lunette vault. The three neoclassical altars are in the form of aedicules. The three altars date from around 1840. The altarpiece on the high altar is a copy of the "Walburga drapery" on the Chammünster altar. Three high-quality oil paintings and a collection of nearly 200 votive tablets surrounding an altar-like structure in the right-hand side circular panel are worth seeing. An 18th-century painting of the Immaculate Conception hangs on the south wall of the nave. The south chapel is decorated with votive offerings.
