It's such a pretty church. To look at with all the craving.

From the outside, as it was very sadly locked to pilgrims, it is an amazingly beautiful building. The portico is tremendous and we must salute the great Christain masons from centuries gone by who were so skilled and able to create such an amazing church. So sad we can't go inside though.

It's located on the pilgrim route into Estella just as you enter the city. It seems to be just a unused ruin now although it is well worth stopping to appreciate the highly skilled work that produced the intricate facade and doorway. Apparently Gothic 13th 14th century.

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.
