A pity that it is private and abandoned. In the middle of the primitive path, do not miss it.

It is dull as it is preserved, but the stones speak of its long and important history. One of the most important battles of the High Middle Ages took place in those places. Without a doubt a place for lovers of history in times of the monarch Silo.

Little place to park, the access is between farms and the area is unmarked and unguarded. A shame, because it has a lot of potential, the remains that are completely covered with weeds, they seem interesting. The tower has no access. I think I remember that they do not advise approaching. The views from there, of the town, are spectacular.

It is not signposted. There is little place to park. You cannot visit the inside. It is a tower located in the middle of a field surrounded by houses. The tower from the outside looks well preserved.

Too bad not to invest in archaeological work because the result could be spectacular.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
