Nice place to walk around the Parc. We will come back to visit the chateau inside.

Just out walking our dog and ran into the Count of this magnificent Hunting Castle. Lovely gentleman who graciously offered us a private tour of his mansion even though it was closed to tourist for the season. Amazing collection of historical art and generations of family history. Truly a sight to behold and I'd recommend anyone in this area to come for a visit, but be sure to book ahead if you need an English speaking guide. When we're back to this region, it will definitely be on our favorite places to visit and hang out with the Count again : )

We visited the gardens and castle with our small daughter. The gardens are huge and beautiful with meadows, small forests, a lake and some cows. The tour guide was very understanding with our daughter during the 1 hour visit of the castle. It is still inhabited by its owner who is around and who is a very friendly and educated person. We will certainly come back.

Beautiful castle, with an English style garden and a large park to take a stroll in. Guided visits available in summer.

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.
