Michael (Wasi)
September 14, 2024, Liebfrauenbrunn Pilgrimage Chapel and Spring

The chapel impresses with its Gothic architectural style made of red Tauber Valley sandstone and its artistic decorations. The Kaiserlindenallee with fourteen Stations of the Cross leading to the chapel is particularly impressive.

The Liebfrauenbrunn pilgrimage chapel is a historical and spiritual attraction near Werbach im Taubertal. It was built in the 15th century as an open field chapel and rebuilt in 1902 in the Gothic style. Under the chapel there is a spring that, according to legend, has healing powers, especially for eye problems. The chapel is dedicated to Mary, Mother of Sorrows, and is visited by many pilgrims who ask for her help and intercession. The chapel has rich furnishings, including a grace altar by the artist Thomas Buscher and numerous votive plaques. The chapel is surrounded by an avenue of imperial linden trees and fourteen Stations of the Cross. The chapel is located in an idyllic place in the Welzbachtal, which invites you to linger and pray.

Nice chapel, water source just below the building. Nice entry into the trail / hiking trail.

Ideal place to take a break: an interesting sacred structure, cloister with benches and a spring to fill up the water supplies (of course, ice-cold)

Nice place for a stop. The stream flows under the chapel and the path LT8 leads through an exciting passage to the other side of the chapel.

The Roman Catholic pilgrimage chapel Liebfrauenbrunn was first built in the 15th century in the late gothic style. The current chapel was built in 1902 and is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows.
