In the year 1460 the Lords of Ebbs built a chapel and placed a most lovely Statue of the Holy Mary in it. 100 years later Lord Karl von Schlurff bought the chapel and brought the statue of Mary to Bavaria. The legends states that the statue returned back to its original place the next day. The Lord tried without luck to bring the statue to Bavaria. It always mysteriously returned to Mariastein.
