    The history of the pilgrimage church and its development
    Pastor Josef Anton Steiner received official approval in 1762 for the public veneration of the image of Mary and for the construction of a chapel. The devotional inauguration took place a year later in 1763. In a short time, the rush was so strong that the church had to be expanded to the west in 1774. Part of the additions was financed by a generous grant from the Counts of Toerring-Seefeld as court rulers.

    In addition to the church expansion, a small house was built for a hermit who undertook to perform sacristan services. In addition, an extension was built east of the sacristy where school lessons were held for the children of the nearby towns. After the abolition of the cloister in 1802, the responsible sacristan lives in the house to this day, who lovingly tends to the complex.

    The church building has received some renovations and changes in the last few decades. Ultimately, it was decided in 1912 to restore the church to its original appearance. The last renovation of the church took place in 1960/62.

    When the sexton's house was ready for demolition in 1972, it was replaced by a new building based on the plans of Roland von Rebay, based on the previous building.

      The origins of the chapel go back to the first half of the 18th century. A hunter got lost in the woods west of Wessling. The area was swampy, lots of swamp and waterholes and wolves. In his distress, the hunter prayed to Maria that she should lead him to the Green Depression. He was heard, spent the night in the valley on the Schluifeld with a farmer. He saw a Mary Help picture nearby and set it up in a pear tree near the Green Valley. From 1774 the first miraculous healings began. In 1763 the miraculous image was transferred to the newly built chapel.
