Basilique Notre-Dame, Minor basilica in Fribourg, Switzerland
The basilica features a neoclassical facade from the 18th century, complemented by a bell tower and five unequal bays with decorated ceilings.
Built in the early 13th century, the church served as a place of worship for the Zahringen dukes and underwent substantial transformations during the 15th century.
The interior displays frescoes and altar paintings created in 1786 by German rococo painter Gottfried Locher, representing religious and artistic heritage.
The basilica welcomes visitors daily from 8:30 AM to 7:15 PM, with shorter hours on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings.
The Neapolitan nativity scene near the entrance contains 75 figurines with straw bodies, wooden limbs, and terracotta heads mounted on metal frameworks.
