Pilgrimage Church of St. Anton
Wallfahrtskirche St. Anton
A Baroque pilgrimage church on the hillside above Partenkirchen. A stations-of-the-cross path winds up through the trees, and the frescoes in the dome are exquisite, with views over the town.
The Pilgrimage Church of St. Anton was built between 1704 and 1708 and later extended. It sits on the hillside on the east side of the Partenkirchen district, at the foot of Wank. From Ludwigstraße, the walk along the 'Kreuzweg' (Way of the Cross) takes about 15 minutes and passes 14 Stations of the Cross. The interior is typical of Bavarian Baroque style. The main dome features frescoes by Johann Evangelist Holzer, and the walls are hung with votive paintings from grateful worshippers. From the terrace in front of the church, you can see the town and the Zugspitze. Entry is free, and it connects to the Philosophenweg forest trail.
