Basilica of the Visitation, Baroque basilica in Wambierzyce, Poland

The basilica stands on a hill, featuring monumental stone stairs with 56 steps arranged in three parallel sections leading to the entrance point.

Built between 1715 and 1723 by Count Franz Anton von Goetzen, the current structure replaced several previous churches dating back to the 13th century.

The basilica received its minor basilica title from Pope Pius XI in 1936 and contains a wooden Madonna with Child sculpture from the 14th century.

The basilica opens daily from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with extended hours until 9:00 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from May to September.

The complex includes a mechanical nativity scene from the 19th century, created by Longin Wittig, displaying intricate figurine movements and biblical scenes.
