With the words “Ave Maria, gratia plena” (“Hail Mary, full of grace”) begins the angel’s greeting to the Mother of God, as he brings the heavenly message to Mary, who lived in Nazareth and was betrothed to Joseph, that she is to give birth to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The text, based on the Gospel of Luke, has become a widespread prayer that the faithful gladly address to the Mother of God to invoke her intercession or express their gratitude.

The high and richly structured west tower facade features giant pilasters with a pronounced center and side niches for figures. Above the round arch portal with crowning foliage decor, there is a segment arch window, and above that, a coat of arms stone from the Charterhouse Mauerbach.

In recent years, visiting this place has become a mixed bag. The food can be good, but it's not always guaranteed. The restaurant has changed hands frequently, and each owner tries something different. And that doesn't always work. But the good news is: coffee and a beachy vibe are always available in the summer.
