The first mention of this important Baroque pilgrimage site in Horní Police near Česká Lípa comes from the 13th century. The church is most associated with a wooden statue of the pregnant Virgin Mary, which according to legend was found by locals on the banks of the river Ploučnice in 1523. Historically the most visited pilgrimage site in northern Bohemia includes the church, the bell tower, the cloister, the archdeaconry, the monument of Wenzel Hocký and the wooden statue of the Virgin Mary of Horní Police.
