Gößweinstein, Germany

An official card from Germany showing the altar of Gößweinstein Basilica. Wikipedia is brief on this : Pilgrimage church of the Holy Trinity, 1730–1739 built during the reign of Fürstbischof Friedrich Carl von Schönborn according to plans byBalthasar Neumann, who also supervised the construction. Franciscan padre Prof. Dr. Luchesius Spätling applied for the denomination asBasilica minor. The church was elevated to the papal Basilica minor in 1948 by Pope Pius XII.
Amazing card ! Danke an Norbert
