    The Marienweiher basilica is one of the oldest Marian pilgrimage churches in Germany. Every year around 8,000 pilgrims come to the district of Marktleugast to see Our Lady of Marienweiher. The church received the papal honorary title basilica minor in 1993.
    The Church of the Visitation of Mary is both a pilgrimage basilica and parish church of the Roman Catholic parish Marienweiher in the Archdiocese of Bamberg. Marienweiher is the largest Marian pilgrimage site within the archbishopric and, along with the Bamberg Cathedral, the Vierzehnheiligen basilica and the Gößweinstein basilica, one of the four basilicae minores.
