The pilgrimage church of St. Maria im Heuwinkl, as the Heuwinkl Chapel is called in full, is located on a hill on the eastern outskirts of Iffeldorf and is considered one of the most beautiful chapels in the entire Bavarian Oberland. Commissioned by the Wessobrunner monastery, it was built by the important Wessobrunner master builder and stucco artist Johann Schmutzer and consecrated in 1701. The original round building with its mighty red dome, which in turn is crowned by a tower-like lantern, can be seen from afar. The porch with the bell tower, where the current entrance to the chapel is located, and the two-storey sacristy on the opposite side were only added later. In addition to the unusual external appearance, the interior of the chapel with the wooden high altar built in the late Rococo style, which is covered with valuable, colored stucco marble, is also worth seeing.From May to October daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
