The Burgkirche Maria vom Siege (Castle Church Mary of the Victory) is located in the Oberwittelsbach district of Aichach in the Aichach-Friedberg district, Bavaria. It stands on the site of the former ancestral castle of the Wittelsbachs, Wittelsbach Castle, and is an important historical building in the region. History: The origins of the church are closely linked to the history of the Wittelsbachs. After the destruction of Wittelsbach Castle in 1209, the present church was built on its site around 1420. The Gothic brick building was altered and re-equipped in the 17th and 19th centuries. The church served for a long time as a place of pilgrimage and is dedicated to the patronage of "Maria vom Siege" (Mary of the Victory), which is celebrated on October 7. Architecture and furnishings: The church is characterized by its Gothic architecture, which received Baroque elements over the centuries. Inside, it is clearly divided into two parts: The sacred space of the altars is dedicated to the life of Mary, while the nave thematizes the suffering of Christ. Of particular note is the miraculous image in the high altar, a Madonna with the Christ Child, surrounded by musical angels. Current condition and use: The castle church is a historical monument and is entered in the Bavarian list of monuments. For safety reasons, public access is only possible on special occasions and after church services and weddings. However, the surrounding castle grounds are freely accessible at any time and offer an insight into the historical significance of the site. A visit to the Burgkirche Maria vom Siege offers not only an insight into the religious history of the region, but also into the beginnings of the House of Wittelsbach and the development of the Wittelsbacher Land.

A historical trail with seven stations offers numerous information about the former castle, the life of the Wittelsbachs, and the significance of the place.
