    The baroque pilgrimage basilica Vierzehnheiligen was built by the famous architect Balthasar Neumann and was extensively renovated just a few years ago. From the 15th century to the present day, pilgrims aim for the fourteenth saint, one of the most famous places of pilgrimage, to seek the protection of the 14 helpers. Back then, more than 500 years ago, a shepherd had a vision that was to become the cornerstone of one of the most famous pilgrimage churches in Bavaria. The basilica was built in the 18th century - it is one of the most important baroque buildings in Bavaria.

      Vierzehnheiligen forms together with the monastery Banz and the Staffelberg with chapel the so-called Gottesgarten. They provide popular and rewarding destinations for pilgrims, art lovers and hikers alike.
