Wonderful castle, lovely area in general.

A tower house that dates back to the 15th century although most of what remains is from the 16th and 17th century. In the private grounds of a house so not accessible but able to see some of it from just outside the walls and gate.

Another interesting little castle but unfortunately it's on private land and inaccessible although it's still possible to get some decent pics. Right by the side of the road and there was space to park next the derelict outbuildings. Add this to your larger castle tour as it's not one you'd have as your sole reason to visit, still interesting though.

Beautiful old castle but the best part is fenced off in a private garden, so you cant get a great look around.

Lovely old castle. On main road, limited parking. Worth a visit

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.
