Mount Schoenstatt Shrine

The Schoenstatt Shrine at Mount Schoenstatt in Mulgoa, New South Wales, the first exact replica of the original Shrine in Germany, was completed and blessed by Cardinal Gilroy on 19th May 1968. It is visited by people from many nations and creeds – in the vicinity of 40,000 pilgrims each year.The chapel is a replica of a centuries old German chapel which boasts a splendid hand carved altar. It is a place of pilgrimage to Our Lady of Schoenstatt and is run by the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary, who are part of a worldwide religious community with similar chapels all over the world.

Inspection of the chapel is invited but visitors are reminded that this is a place of worship, so on entering please consider those in prayer. Visitors may walk the Stations of the Cross through the beautiful garden and bush which surrounds the chapel.
