Church, pilgrims' lodgings and water house form the sanctuary. The present complex relates to the expansion of pilgrimage in the eighteenth century. Apparition stories belong to religious tradition and do not replace the documented building chronology. The church was built in 1701–1707; lodging ranges developed in stages, while the water house relates to the 1770 supply system. Read these facilities together to understand pilgrimage beyond its religious symbolism.
What to look for
Look beyond the church to how the lodgings organise arrival and staying. Plan supplies and distinguish church access from the outdoor precinct.

Lü centres the condition of arriving in an unfamiliar place. A sanctuary needs symbols, but also rest and water for travellers. Respect for visitors lies in these concrete provisions; monumentality should not obscure hospitality.
