Wallfahrtsmuseum Gößweinstein

Om museet

The Wallfahrtsmuseum Gößweinstein (Pilgrimage Museum) opened in September 2008. It brings together Germany's largest Trinity pilgrimage, the important Baroque basilica designed by Balthasar Neumann, and an exceptional collection of life-size, clothed votive figures made of wax in one place. With over 100 examples, the holdings of wax votive figures are particularly extensive; the custom died out in the mid-20th century.

The museum is housed in the former sexton's and school building from the 18th century. It belongs to the "Heiliger Bezirk" (Holy Precinct) around the parish and pilgrimage church, and thus also preserves the historic village ensemble together with the church and its pilgrimage treasure. The building is a LEADER-Plus project in Upper Franconia; the sponsor is the Trägerverein Wallfahrtsmuseum Gößweinstein e. V. (sponsoring association).

Across about 275 square meters and three floors, the exhibition spans from the general phenomenon of pilgrimage in the world religions to the Trinity pilgrimage at Gößweinstein. Video stations open up the sometimes small rooms, a timeline shows 2,000 years of Christian pilgrimage, and display cases are devoted to Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago. The museum also looks after branch sites in St. Moritz near Leutenbach and at the Lohranger in Pinzberg.
