One of my favorite place in my home town Altötting - the Gnadenkapelle .

This is a tiny octagonal chapel which keeps a venerated statue of the Virgin Mary. According to the legend, in 1489, a 3-year-old local boy who had drowned in the river was revived when his grieving mother placed him in front of a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary at the high altar. News of the miracle quickly spread, and the chapel was immediately extended by the erection of a nave and a covered walkway_x000D_ _x000D_ watercolor on paper_x000D_ size 34*50 cm
