This church, the pilgrimage church in Ipthausen, has chosen the birth of the Mother of God Mary as its patron saint. Her birth is not specifically mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament, nor are her parents, but early apocryphal writings (i.e. not included in the canon of the official Bible) named Saint Anne and her husband Saint Joachim as their parents. The Church of Saint Anne - located on Lake Bethesda in Jerusalem - is considered to be the location of the Mother of God's parents' house. The Catholic Church celebrates the memorial day "Nativity of Mary" on September 8th, as do the Orthodox and Anglican Christians.

One of the most beautiful village churches in Franconia" © Anja Legge A romantic birch avenue with old wayside shrines leads from Bad Königshofen through the meadows of the Saale to Ipthausen. The pretty little church, which was rebuilt between 1746 and 1754 in the Rococo style, is considered "one of the most beautiful village churches in Franconia". The quiet little church owes its great popularity above all to the magnificent ceiling painting by Georg Anton Urlaub, which unmistakably reveals the influence of the famous Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. The Ipthausen miraculous image, a Pietà from around 1650, which is rather simple amidst the lavish Rococo furnishings, is still the destination of many individual pilgrims and groups of visitors today. The type of the Sorrowful Mother in particular invites people to bring up personal needs, worries and pains here in order to leave strengthened and full of hope.
