Built by Balthasar Neumann, the predominantly white interior is splendidly furnished. In the votive chamber that can be visited, over 100 life-size wax figures are exhibited, which were donated as symbolic sacrifices (for example for rescue from an emergency) on the basis of a vow.

The pilgrimage church of the Holy Trinity is the landmark of Gößweinstein. This monumental church, whose two towers majestically greet the country, together with its pilgrimage forms the religious center of Franconian Switzerland.
Thousands of pilgrims come to this place of worship every year. In addition, the basilica is the destination of many art lovers and tourists. After all, the church, built between 1730 and 1739, is one of the most important creations of late Baroque architecture in Franconia and is considered a sacred masterpiece by the great architect Balthasar Neumann.
