Wallfahrtskirche Bildstein, Catholic pilgrimage church in Bildstein, Austria.
The church features two onion-domed towers on its western facade, rising prominently 250 meters above the Rhine Valley at an elevation of 656 meters.
The current early Baroque structure, designed by Bregenz architect Michael Kuen, replaced a wooden chapel and was constructed between 1662 and 1676.
The church contains five bells cast in 1949, creating specific sound sequences for religious ceremonies and marking significant moments in the community.
Regular masses, pilgrimages, and guided tours take place at the church, which received the honorary title of Basilica from Pope Francis in 2018.
The interior houses canvas paintings by Franz and Jakob Bertle on the wooden ceiling, with the high altar displaying a notable shepherds' adoration scene.
