Church of St. Saint Bartholomew is not only wise sermons but also a very good atmosphere emanating from each of the priests.

Cudowny kościół. Bylem w nim od dziecka niestety wiele się zmieniło do dzisiaj. Pierwsze zabrany obraz MB na oś. Kopernika pytam jakim prawem !!!!!! Pamiętam cudownego organistę i jego żonę którzy grali tak że mimo będąc dzieckiem ciarki przechodziły. Ludzie na nowenny przyjeżdżali ze śląska dla organisty i atmosfery kościoła. Dzisiaj byłem tam na chrzcinach cóż z dawnego kościoła został on sam ... dźwięk z organ już nie ten partacz przy klawiszach księża słabo dbający np. o ołtarz który widać jest mocno brudny. Postawiony tron przed ołtarzem dla księdza który ukrywa się za nim przed parafianami.... pewnie w imię Covida :) skończyła się tajemniczość przeżyć z tym miejscem. Szkoda.

The parish my family has been associated with for several generations. The cubature of the church and the organ are impressive.

It is a pity that the pandemic dispersed and divided the faithful which affected the power of faith. It's a pity, because it won't come back. And the new parish priest spared no money for heating the church

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.
