Stiftsbasilika Waldsassen, Baroque basilica in Waldsassen, Germany.
The Stiftsbasilika Waldsassen extends 82 meters in length and contains multiple chapels, galleries, and the largest underground crypt in Germany.
The construction of this church occurred between 1685 and 1704, with Georg Dientzenhofer and Abraham Leuthner leading the architectural development.
The basilica houses ten ornate reliquary skeletons transferred from Roman catacombs and decorated by Cistercian brother Adalbart Eder in the 18th century.
Visitors can explore the basilica through guided tours that include access to the main nave, chapels, and the extensive underground crypt.
The main organ, built in 1738 by Johann Konrad Brandenstein, contains 7,720 pipes across 141 ranks and functions for both religious services and concerts.
