Pilgrimage Church of Birnau

The pilgrimage church of Birnau is a Baroque church dedicated to the Matronage of Mary on the northern shore of Lake Constance, between the towns of Nußdorf and Uhldingen-Mühlhofen in Baden-Württemberg. The church is located in Birnau on the western route of the Upper Swabian Baroque Road directly on the B 31. It was built from 1746 to 1749 by the Vorarlberg master builder Peter Thumb for the Imperial Abbey of Salem. The church received a rich Baroque decoration with frescoes by Gottfried Bernhard Göz as well as stuccos, altars, and sculptures by Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer, the most famous of which is the honey-sucker, a putto with a beehive. The convent building in front of the church with its distinctive bell tower now houses a priory of the Cistercian Abbey of Wettingen-Mehrerau.
Since 1946, it has also been the parish church for the towns of Deisendorf and Nußdorf.
