The first phase of the construction of the basilica took place from 1394 until 1417. There was a second construction phase between 1452 and 1454. During this phase, the nave got closed with a façade and, with the exception of the tower, the church was completely finished. During the third phase of construction, from 1463 until 1483, the tower was finished and six bells were added. On its 600th anniversary, in 1999, the church received the honorary title of basilica.
Today, the basilica is mostly known for the grave of Thomas a Kempis. He is a popular medieval mystic and his book ‘De Imitation Christi’ is known all over the world. His grave is frequently visited by tourist and pilgrims.
