The basilica has been part of the earliest Benedictine monastery in Swabia and its imperial status was among others confirmed by emperor Charles IV.
"Holy St. Vitus, through your example of faith and your compassion that cost you your life, I pray that my faith remains strong and my dance inspires and benefits those who see it.”
- Prayer to Saint Vitus
I arrived to the small city with the former monastery and a beautiful market square surrounded by old buildings and were immediately captivated by the complex structure of the church.
