1926年以来、修道院教会は教皇の栄誉称号である小バシリカを授与されています。元々は後期ゴシック様式で建てられましたが、内部は数回改装され、1900年から1934年の間に新バロック様式で内装され、装飾が施されました。聖歌隊席の奥にある、フランス国王ルイ14世からの贈り物である荘厳な主祭壇は、1680年に奉献されました。

Biederthal Castle is located above the village of Burg in Leimental. It is privately owned and not open to the public, but it is still an impressive sight from the outside. The large castle complex dominates the village.

The Mariastein monastery is considered the second most important pilgrimage site in Switzerland after Einsiedeln. Its origins go back to a legend in which a little boy fell over a high rock face and was then found unharmed by his mother. After he told his father that he had been caught by a woman, the father was sure that it was the Virgin Mary. He had a chapel built in a cave in her honor. The monastery complex can be visited daily, but services are held regularly. More information can be found here: https://www.kloster-mariastein.ch/informationen/agenda/

The medieval Rotberg Castle sits majestically above the treetops. It has been a youth hostel since its conversion in 1935.

The small and pretty St. Anna Chapel along the St. Anna Trail is a real eye-catcher. The Mariastein monastery complex, which is clearly visible from the hilltop, is particularly memorable. If you want, you can rest and relax on one of the many bright yellow park benches along the St. Anna Trail. The St. Anna Chapel is also located at the forest junction towards the Landskron castle ruins in neighboring Alsace. Approx. 30 minutes' walk.

The Mariastein monastery is, alongside the Einsiedeln monastery, the second most visited pilgrimage site in Switzerland. Thousands of believers and pilgrims from all over the world make a pilgrimage to Mariastein every year to ask Mary for help or to receive her blessing. Of course, the impressive monastery complex and the surrounding lands attract numerous tourists and hikers every year, who bring home a wealth of memories with a suitcase or backpack, but also a full photo or cell phone memory card. A detour to the gift chapel hidden in a rock grotto and the magnificent basilica is particularly recommended. If you visit Mariastein, you should also, if possible, pay a visit to the nearby castle ruins of Château Landskron in Alsace, just a few minutes' walk away.

Striking building, now a youth hostel. Good starting point for driving "sideways" to the ridge between Blattenpass and Chall.
