The village Walching, formerly located outside Neukirchen, has already been incorporated in the 1950s; it is separated from Neukirchen by a hill, which was formerly called the " shambles " because there was held the allwöchentliche Schlachtermarkt.

The history of the pilgrimage in Neukirchen has its origin in a host pilgrimage. The legend is given as the time to do this the beginning of the 15th century. At this time a chapel was erected in front of the place. A Hussite attempted here around 1420 to destroy a statue of Mary with a stroke of his sword, which brought a peasant woman from the Bohemian village Loučim from the local church here in safety. From the head of the statue, a blood -like liquid flowed after which the place of growing importance of the pilgrimage in the 16th century, the words " the holy blood " was common. For the calculation of the anniversary date in 1450 set for the sacrilege to the statue of Mary and the beginning of the pilgrimage later.
