Altotting is a town in Bavaria, capital of the district Altotting of Germany. For 500 years it has been the scene of religious pilgrimages by way of Catholics in honor of Mary including go to by way of Pope John Paul II in 1980 and Pope Benedict XVI in 2006. During the Carolingian period, there has been a royal palace right here. Nearby, King Carloman erected a Benedictine monastery in 876, with Werinolf as first abbot, and additionally built the abbey church in honour of the Apostle St. Philip. In 907 King Louis the Child gave the abbey in commendam to Burchard, the Bishop of Passau.

In 910 the Hungarians ransacked and burnt the church and abbey. In 1228 Duke Louis I of Bavaria rebuilt these homes and, when they had been sanctified, placed them in fee of 12 Canons Regular, headed by using a provost. The canons remained till the secularization of the Bavarian monasteries in 1803. Saint Conrad of Parzham, O.F.M. Cap., served as porter on the Friary of St. Ann in the metropolis of Altotting for 40 years.
