    The Chapel of Grace is also called the Holy Chapel. It houses the so-called “Black Madonna” of Altötting. The building is one of the “Shrines of Europe”. The chapel is the destination of many pilgrimages and establishes Altötting's fame as a place of pilgrimage.
    The origin of this chapel remains hidden in darkness even after 500 years of intensive research. The octagonal shape suggests that the chapel was originally built as a baptistery.
    When you enter the chapel, you immediately see why the pilgrimage is called "to the Black Mother of God": not only the miraculous image, but also the entire interior of the building is dominated by a black color scheme.
    The chapel's surroundings are decorated with countless miraculous and votive images. There are also many crosses here with the inscription “Maria hilf” or “Maria helped”.
    A visit to this special chapel is worth every detour, even if you are not Catholic. The importance of this place for many believers is immediately noticeable.

        Allow time to read the inscriptions. A place of stillness.
