The Steinhausen Church of Pilgrimage
The Steinhausen Church of Pilgrimage was built between 1728 and 1731 by the famous master architect Dominikus Zimmermann and his brother Johann Baptist Zimmermann. The building was commissioned by Abbot Didacus Ströbele of the Schussenried Premonstratensian Monastery.
The centrepiece is the miraculous Gothic icon of Our Lady of Sorrows, erected in 1415 in the old church that had to yield to the new Baroque building. It stood mounted on a stone column from 1660 until 1728. Church visitors who come to see "Our Dear Lady on the Column" experience a gamut of emotions ranging from silent worship to enthusiastic admiration.
