Maria Gern Church, also known as the St. Maria Hilf, is a Catholic pilgrimage church situated in the Berchtesgaden Alps near the town of Berchtesgaden, Germany. The church was built in 1674 on the site of an older chapel and was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It is renowned for its Baroque architecture and stunning views of the surrounding mountains.
