The St. Ursula Chapel is a pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint Ursula, dating back to the mid-18th century. It is located one and a half kilometers southeast of Alsleben near Bad Königshofen in Lower Franconia, in a wooded area close to the Bavarian-Thuringian border. As early as the 15th century, a church dedicated to Saint Ursula stood on the mountain. This was destroyed during the Peasants' War in 1525, but was soon replaced by a small new chapel. In 1704, the widow of the Sternberg castle builder Wolff Dietrich Truchseß von Wetzhausen (Baroness Eva Rosina) donated the relics. As a result, the chapel quickly became a popular pilgrimage destination, attracting up to 10,000 pilgrims annually. In 1750, construction began on a new, larger church, which was consecrated in 1754. In 1803, St. Ursula's was closed, but after protests, it reopened in 1811. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ursula

Saint Ursula and her (allegedly 11,000) companions, to whom this chapel is dedicated, are – alongside the Three Wise Men – arguably the most famous Cologne saints. According to the legendary biography, Ursula was an English king's daughter who, along with her companions, made a pilgrimage to Rome. On the return journey down the Rhine, the Huns under King Attila besieged Cologne. They murdered everyone.
