WW: The Gößweinstein or Goessweinstein Basilica

We happened to pass-by Gößweinstein today during our trip tpo Bayreuth. It is a municipality in the district of Forchheim in Bavaria in Germany. The place is very interesting. It is just small town but a lot of tourists visit this place because of the Pilgrimage Church which is now considered to be a Basilica or Cathedral. It has also a very beautiful surrounding. Gößweinstein is written in English as Goessweinstein. I am sharing a photo of the altar of this Cathedral. Below is also a little information about this Pilgrimage Church.

Feel free to click the picture to enlarge this very beautiful Church.
Pilgrimage church of the Holy Trinity, 1730–1739 built during the reign of Fürstbischof Friedrich Carl von Schönborn according to plans by Balthasar Neumann, who also supervised the construction. Franciscan padre Prof. Dr. Luchesius Spätling applied for the denomination as Basilica minor. The church was elevated to the papal Basilica minor in 1948 by Pope Pius XII.
