A beautiful place, definitely worth a visit. The coffered ceiling is full of ancient symbols. There are benches on the church island, it is landscaped, it is pleasant to contemplate and think about the things of life. Unfortunately, the crossing bridge is very rotten in some places, people with heavier weight and jumping children should be careful!

Very nice! Clean, tidy environment, this is what this iconic monument deserves! The coffered ceiling is amazing. And I say this not because my dear son has confirmed here, but without the pastors, this place would not be what it is. It was good to come back here!

Very nice church! We were there at 11 a.m. on Sunday and it was just worship! The pastor greeted me kindly and the congregation was direct. The living history, colors and shapes are beautiful!

Beautiful church in wonderful surroundings. The immediate surroundings of the church are being renovated, so the construction is deteriorating on the outside ... I remembered from the previous pictures the larger surrounding water surface, in addition to less water, the aquatic plants also give the building a different character from the outside, but it is still beautiful ...

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.
