history
The miraculous image "Maria Helferin" was found in 1626 at a place where healing water came out of the ground. A chapel was soon built over it. From the beginning of the 18th century to the 19th century, hermits were the guardians of the Marian shrine, which soon became the center of a regional pilgrimage. The current church was built between 1762 and 1764 instead of an older wooden church opposite the source chapel. It was elevated to a parish church in 1871. A restoration took place in 1976. In 1982 the church was expanded. Even today, many people make pilgrimages to this source.
