Weingarten

Weingarten is a town in Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany, located in a region marked by gentle hills and green countryside. The city is defined by its large Baroque basilica, which rises above the surrounding buildings and forms the heart of the town center.

The town originated in the Middle Ages and long served as an important religious center due to the veneration of the Holy Blood here. The basilica was built in its current Baroque form in the 18th century and has defined the town's appearance ever since.
