A monumental, single-nave, neo-Romanesque church of Maria, Hilfe der Christen with a two-tower facade was built according to the plans of the architect F. Hutzler from Vienna. The chancel ends with a semi-circular apse. The church was decorated with numerous votive offerings from believers. The interior is modern. Under the altar, in the place where the Virgin Mary appeared, a piece of wooden floor from the Kade house can be seen under glass. On the altar there is a 90 cm high statue of the Virgin Mary made of Carrara marble. In the second sacristy is the bed on which Magdalena Kade suffered. The Redemptorists, who had been there for care since 1884, built a monastery by 1915. In 1908, Hermann Eule Orgelbau Bautzen installed an organ with 22 registers with two manuals and a pedal, which was restored in 2009.[4] After the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans in 1946/47, the prior of the Redemptorist monastery, Father Šimanovský, was arrested in 1948 and the church was closed. Due to the border location, the basilica and monastery were left to decay and could only be maintained through private donations. In 1985 Archbishop of Prague František Tomášek consecrated the Madonna with a silver crown with six Czech garnets.

In 1883 the statue of Mary was placed in the niche 20 meters above the main portal of the basilica. It is a 2.80 meter tall statue made of Pirna sandstone by Anton Schwarz. The statue was restored in 2015.

I have to say, I stood in front of it and was stunned.

What a building.
