Facts and practical information

The pilgrimage church of Birnau is a Baroque church subordinated to the patrocinium of Mary on the northern shore of Lake Constance between the towns of Nußdorf and Uhldingen-Mühlhofen in Baden-Württemberg. Located in Birnau on the western route of the Upper Swabian Baroque Road directly on the B 31, the church 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 interior with frescoes by Gottfried Bernhard Göz as well as stuccowork, altars and sculptures by Joseph Anton Feuchtmayer, the most famous of which is the Honigschlecker, a putto with a beehive. The religious building in front of the church with the prominent bell tower today houses a priory of the Cistercian Abbey of Wettingen-Mehrerau. Since 1946 it has also been the parish church of the villages of Deisendorf and Nußdorf.
