We visited the baroque Basilica Vierzehnheiligen; a church built in the seventeen-hundreds dedicated to 14 saints called the holy helpers. It was actually quite interesting. One saint was for fever, another for sore throats, two for headaches (one of whom is represented in the photos by the headless statue), and one for the health of pets. Read about it here.

Then, as I was walking around the outside of the church, I found a brewery named Brauerei Trunk complete with a little restaurant. Funny thing about this brewery is the family name translates into drunk; so Brewery Drunk. There's a photo in here with a conveyor to get beer to car. I just liked that.

Then not far from there was castle called Schloss Banz which used to be monastery occupied by a community of monks. We walked all around there. There was a kind of obstacle course closed for the season. You can see an outdoor bowling lane in one of the photos. Also the castle was high on top a hill which lured in some parachuter's. We then enjoyed some food in the restaurant called Klosterstuben Kloster Banz which is part of the castle.

We ended the day home in Schweinfurt for a nice dinner.
