Hinterglauchau Castle

Glauchau, Germany

Glauchau was founded by a colony of Sorbs and Wends, and belonged to the lords of Schönburg as early as the 12th century. Hinterglauchau Renaissance-style castle was built from 1470 on the site of a castle built by the Lords of Schönburg around 1170 and has been the center of their rule for centuries . With the construction of the parts of the building, later called Castle Fordglauchau, the facility was expanded towards the city from around 1525. At the same time the main castle was rebuilt. In the early 20th century a museum was set up in the castle.

It was a very nice day with you, we found it very fascinating to see so many historical furniture and paintings and the rooms spoke for themselves so many exhibits are rarely seen we found the tour very interesting and beautiful We were rarely welcomed so warmly will come back in any case :)

Nice little castle with a nice exhibition, at a reasonable price. However, the castle was very difficult to find as there are no signs indicating the way. But the staff is a no-go! (That's why only one star) At the checkout we were asked by an elderly gentleman if we wanted to take a picture, to which we denied. "You can still pay later," was the answer. ? When we came back from the tour we were greeted with the sentence "Was the photograph at least worth it?" Puzzled, we replied that we actually did not take a single photo of the exhibition, which of course we were not believed. "If you believe it, I was just thinking" Such staff is actually intolerable. One is portrayed as a scrounger or a liar. Does not work at all! On the one hand I find an extra fee for taking pictures anyway bullshit and on the other hand I like to pay it if I want to use it ☝.

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.
