Historic 15th century monastery, home of Charles V's former lover. You can visit its church or contact the monks for a guided tour. Its landscape surrounded by marshes is worth a stop.

A very nice place to visit and I was surprised to see that there were objects on loan and that for very few euros you could buy books, CDs and all kinds of objects in order to help those most in need.

Located at the top of a hill and surrounded by vegetation in front and marshes in the back. The church has a beautiful carved wooden altarpiece.

Incredible location, surrounded by the calm waters of the marshes, we heard the afternoon mass in a small church but presided over by an excellent altarpiece with the image of the "Divina Pastora". An extraordinary place

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.
