Castle somewhat deteriorated but they are restoring it. It is worth going up and imagining it. Also see the piece of views from there.

Now he was in rehabilitation very well, it seems to me that they will leave him luxurious. I took a look anyway and it's a great, well-preserved castle. I'm happy for the town. Visitable castle 100% when they finish the rehabilitation. Downstairs there is a fountain, a children's playground and a shop/bar, I think or headquarters, I don't know, not between. But the town is very cute and careful.

Castillo de Lanos, better known as Castillo de Ocio for being on a cliff overlooking the council of the same name (Province of Álava, Spain), a medieval fortress belonging to the border line of the old Kingdom of Navarre with Castile, located in a narrow hollow in the valley of the Inglares river. It really performed its function as a component of a group of nearby castles, like its neighbor Portilla. If you want to know more on my YouTube channel Castiaventuras I have the video

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.
