Pilgrimage

The beginnings of the pilgrimage to St. Alban are not known. Written records of the pilgrimage are only available from 1570. A peculiarity of this pilgrimage was the sacrifice of clay vessels in the shape of a head with grain, so-called Albanian skulls , because St. Alban was revered as a headache helper. Many of the Albanian skulls used to be kept in the pilgrimage chapel. The catchment area of ​​the pilgrimage extended to Passau. In the diocesan archive there is a Taubenbacher miracle book from 1766. In the 19th century the custom of grain sacrifice gradually expired.

The interior of the parish church of St. Alban is early baroque, the art-historically significant high altar from 1642 comes from the brothers Michael and Martin Zürn . In 1913 wall paintings from the 15th century were uncovered on the choir walls of the church. A covered walkway built in 1691 leads from the parish church to the pilgrimage chapel to the north, which was built towards the end of the 15th century. The small altar was created in 1626 by Hans Georg Weißenburger from Landshut .
