Because of its location, architecture and artistic decoration of the temple is svatokopecký extremely successful baroque buildings. It is a masterpiece work of artists and craftsmen, called in from countries beyond the Alps from Vienna and working in the service of the Olomouc bishop and abbot of the monastery Hradiska; behind them, however, did not remain behind or series of Olomouc and Moravia artists. Although most Christian churches are being built west-facing, not when he went in this direction followed exactly. Its axis pointing to the parent monastery Hradisko, so the priest from the altar can get an impressive view of the parent once a monastery.

The basilica was built primarily as a place for spiritual contemplation, prayer and listening to God. This mission church must never lose. Our ancestors, however, was decorated with many art treasures, to please the one who opens the beauty and which even today attracts many visitors. These two facts have come to a certain extent against each other. Therefore we try to compromise. The church is opened, priority, however, there are clearly religious services, whether scheduled or unexpected (eg pilgrims).

Groups of pilgrims may well in advance (at least a week in advance) reserve for own of worship and tours by telephone or e-mail at the parish.
