Very friendly welcome. Invested guide. We learned a lot of things on the site. It would be good for the state to think about providing subsidies to resume excavations. Conference on 05.24.25 at the Louiac village hall at 2:00 p.m.

Very old wine estate since the site includes a 4th century Gallo-Roman villa with magnificent mosaics as well as an old 12th century chapel Possible 1-hour visit by the passionate owner Very good wine and very warm welcome I did a tasting there with friends on the occasion of the 27th Loupiac and foie gras des landes days. We went from domain to domain by bike...!

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.
