It's very interesting to walk along the city wall, passing various towers. The path leads to a church...

I was there on business and looked at the buildings. It's beautiful, and so is the square around it! The old town of Aichach is enchanting!

Sheltered, so to speak, in the shade of a mighty tree, the biker encounters a small sacred monument in the form of a crucifix – a cross with the body of the crucified Christ. The ends of the longitudinal and transverse beams are shaped, and a protective roof stretches above them in a semicircle. At the feet of the crucified Christ, the viewer finds a second figure, dressed entirely in heavenly blue. Typically, those who linger here are presented with the Mother of God, who, in the face of her son's agony, suffers with him and perseveres on the cross. According to the biblical account of the crucifixion, as narrated by the Evangelist, there should actually be two figures, because Jesus entrusted Mary to the care of John.

According to an old tradition, its origin goes back to a citizen of Friedberg who made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land between 1300 and 1350. On his way back, he was taken prisoner by the Turks and vowed to build a chapel modeled after the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem upon his return. Thanks to his fortunate return, he was able to fulfill this promise. The present pilgrimage church was built in 1731. It impresses with its three-aisled architecture and the magnificent choir rotunda. The interior with its seven domes is particularly fascinating, appearing surprisingly light and spacious. The baroque ornamentation and the delicate stucco work in the best rococo style give the church an elegant atmosphere. In addition to the pilgrimage church, you will also find a Lourdes grotto and a Dreikönigskapelle (Three Kings Chapel) – perfect places to let your soul relax and let the history sink in.
