Marienbasilika, Gothic Revival pilgrimage church in Kevelaer, Germany.
The Marienbasilika features a 90-meter-high western tower, intricate interior paintings, and detailed architectural elements following Gothic Revival principles.
Construction of the basilica began in 1858 under architect Vincenz Statz, with consecration taking place in 1864 in the presence of seven bishops.
Friedrich Stummel created extensive interior paintings that illustrate biblical narratives through a medieval concept known as biblia pauperum.
