The setting is exceptional! The room is magnificent but some things need a facelift, particularly the kitchen area. Concerning the beds, here too, a facelift becomes essential, furniture is outdated and not very functional.

Magnificent location for a wedding. On the other hand, the rooms are really very light and leave something to be desired!! No hot water, broken shower head and above all the alarm which goes off at night without being able to stop it immediately!! I really think that there should be a complete maintenance and overhaul of the buildings regarding the rooms!! Ceremony on Saturday July 27, 2024.

What a waste! Such a beautiful setting, so poorly maintained! How is it possible to rent a wedding hall with such a dirty kitchen? Outdated equipment, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine unusable. The caterer had to bring all his equipment and recreate an annex kitchen so as not to take any health risks! We had to clean the outside, sweep the terraces, leaves everywhere. It was very hot this weekend, no air conditioning ok but no fan available either. No official deigned to respond to the family's complaints over the weekend. Service 0/10

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.
