The Mother of Mercy parish and pilgrimage church is an old fortified church. The church is a three-nave, four-bay stepped building from the second half of the 15th century. The 50-metre-high tower was erected in 1629 as a place of refuge for the population. At the center of the high altar, erected in 1771, is the late Gothic statue of grace, which miraculously survived all the turmoil of war. In 1683 AD, the Turks threw a burning torch into the wooden pulpit, but it went out and no fire broke out. It was at this time that the annual pilgrimages of the villages of Ollern and Langenrohr began, which are still observed today. In 2009, the interior of the Marienwallfahrtskirche was completely renovated.
The two-storey chancel from the 15th century is dedicated to St. Martin.
