ParticipantThe architect for the Basilica at Vierzehnheiligen was Johann Baltazar Neumann who began work at Bad Steffelstein in 1742.
Below,
– Johann Baltazar Neumann with what look like the plans for the fortifications of the Marienburg in Wurzburg carried out in 1719 for Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn (1673 – 1724) the Prince Bishop of Wurzburg, successor of St Killian, founder of the See (hence the Irish connection) – an ancestor of the present Archbishop of Vienna.
– the statue of St Denis, first bishop of Paris, at the Gnadenaltar,
– the frescoed ceiling of the nave.February 11, 2009 at 4:30 pm in reply to: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches #772445Praxiteles
Participant“The pilgrimage church occupies a beautiful position over the river Main, opposite the monastery of Banz. Its restrained exterior has the form of a Latin-cross basilica with an impressive twin-tower façade. Upon entering the building, however, a different world is revealed. Within a seemingly infinite, luminous space a series of oval baldachins are placed. The rich and dynamic effect is structured by a regular system of colossal columns and pilasters. The longitudinal axis is emphasized by the large main altar in the presbytery, but equally strong is the center, marked by the splendid Rococo altar of the fourteen saints. An analysis of the spatial composition shows that two systems have been combined: a biaxial organism basically similar to the Hofkirche in Würzberg, and a conventional Latin cross”.
