and a neighborhood of the city

.
The pilgrimage church stands on a rock.
On a ledge there is a
annex
to the

.
Partially inserted into the west wall, rises a tower.
In the west is a terrace, to which a staircase leads. On the lower floor of the choir there is a chapel from which you can reach the nave through a spiral staircase through a passage carved into the rock. The 1630/32 resulting high altar shows a view of the Sanctuary with the silhouette
of Bamberg
in the background.
The pulpit is from
Bamberg Cathedral
, from which it was removed during the Purifizierung in the 19th century.
