Bjolderup Church, Bolderslev, Denmark

Bjolderup Church was built in the 12th century probably to replace a wooden church. It was expanded in the 15th century and and the tower was added in 1589. It was burned in the war or 1624-1627. In the church there are many paintings from 1778 painted by the Aabenraa artist Jess Jessen. The church greatest treasure is the 'Bjolderup-stone', a tombstone from the grave of Ketil Urnes that now lies in as a part of the church floor and dates from year 1200.

A thousand thanks for a completely fantastic church and not least our local pastor, Martin, made our son Mikkel's day something special, to date the greatest church experience in connection with a confirmation for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything ecclesiastical Mikkel received in connection with his confirmation, both as a priest and on the day itself. 5 stars for the church, but there is not enough star on the scale for Martin priest and his team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

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.
