Altötting is located in the Upper-Bavarian Alpine region, and lies between Munich, Passau and Salzburg, not very far from the Chiemsee. For more than 1250 years this town has been the spiritual centre of Bavaria and for more than 500 years the most significant place of pilgrimage in Germany in veneration of the Virgin Mary.
More than 1 million pilgrims and visitors per year seek the "Black Madonna" which is kept inside the Chapel of Grace, the small sacred building in the middle of the chapel square.
