Maria im Weingarten
Wallfahrtskirche Maria im Weingarten
A pilgrimage church in the vineyards north of Volkach, home to Tilman Riemenschneider's late masterpiece, the Rosary Madonna.
The church stands alone on the vine-covered hill north of Volkach, surrounded by vineyards. The Rosary Madonna hanging inside is a work by master sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider, created between 1521 and 1524. It was stolen in 1962 and later recovered. It takes about 30 minutes on foot from the old town of Volkach along vineyard paths. Admission is free, and opening hours vary by season. In winter it may open only on weekends.
Opening hours
Approx. April–October 09:00–18:00; shorter hours in winter
