# Exterior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [NEUMANN, Balthasar]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary During the same period that Neumann was working on the Trinity church in Gaibach, Neumann also developed a plan for the pilgrimage church at Vierzehnheiligen. The design that he had successfully introduced into the Trinity church, in particular the fusion of different sections into a dynamic and light interior layout, he brought to perfection in Vierzehnheiligen. The nave is formed by three large ovals with circular transepts; it projects into the choir and is set off only by circular side chapels or aisle chapels. Neumann placed the spiritual focus - the pilgrim's altar of grace - at the centre of the church, about halfway between the entrance and the altar. Thus the external basilica form is transformed into a centralized plan in the interior. The picture shows the west front of the pilgrimage church.
