Mariánská Monastery
The Mariánská monastery (German Mariasorg ) was located west of St. Joachimsthal in the Czech part of the Ore Mountains at the foot of the Pleßberg .
Mariasorg was first mentioned in a document in 1465. It stood in the outlying settlement "In der Sorg", which flourished at the beginning of the 16th century through the silver mining of Count Schlick . More and more pilgrims made pilgrimages to the miraculous image of the crowned, helpful Virgin Mary with the baby Jesus in her arms in the small chapel, so that in 1699 a larger stone church was built for 1,800 visitors. In 1754 the Capuchins took over pastoral care and a Capuchin monastery with a hospital was built . This monastery existed until the end of the Second World War in May 1945. Due to the onset of uranium mining by forced laborers and the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakiathe monastery fell into disrepair. The crumbling buildings were demolished in the second half of the 1960s. The miraculous image of Mary came to the parish church in St. Joachimsthal.
In the years 1953–1966 a new pilgrimage church Maria Sorg was built in Greifenstein (parish of St. Andrä-WIERT ) near Klosterneuburg in Austria .
Today the place Mariánská is mainly dominated by the holiday resorts. The Euregio Egrensis long-distance cycle path runs through the village .
