The Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers in Franconia was designed by Balthasar Neumann for the Cistercian brothers of Langheim Abbey, to whom the land belonged. The infobox and text agree on construction from 1743 to 1772.
The article calls the style Late Baroque-Rococo and names no materials or dimensions. Langheim Abbey changed the plans after construction had begun, so Neumann split the interior into three ovals and centered the Altar of Grace in the largest.
Visions in 1445 led to healing reports and an altar consecrated by 1448. The basilica is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage site, and pilgrimages run from May to October. The article gives no hours, ticket details or current dimensions.
