Mithraeum in Königsbrunn - unique in Bavaria

Did you know that the Mithraeum in Königsbrunn is the only Roman Mithraic sanctuary from the 2nd/3rd century AD still preserved in Bavaria? The cult of Mithras originated in Asia Minor. For his followers, Mithras, the victorious bull-slayer in Persian costume, was the ruler of the world, who ruled the universe from the outside... The cavernous, dark room in which the meetings were held symbolized the birth of Mithras in a cave. The site, which is equipped with a protective structure, is open from March to October on the 4th Sunday of every month from 2 - 4 pm. (Exception: closed on 26.05.). ⁠
