Awesome. Although we were only able to visit it from the outside. We will return another time. It dates from the 16th-17th centuries. The cemetery is next door

Striking church at the top of Lierganes. Magnificent construction that defies the vicissitudes of time and emerges imperiously over this atemporal village. Wonderful views on the Pas valley.

I am in front of it and I have been surprised by its beauty and monumentality... the shame is that I have not been able to visit it inside. Although there is a small hill, it is worth visiting.

Beautiful Renaissance style church

We didn't have the opportunity to visit it because it was closed. It has a sober and large building, well restored.

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.
