Sorry we are closed. Despite google claiming it to be open, it was closed, obviously already for some time. The main building is in good shape from the outside, however a construction site around it.

Very nice castle. Attention to detail. Beautiful interior decor. The modern that approaches the historian with such good taste. The garden is beautiful. SPA under construction. Very courteous staff. Recommended.

Splendid structure for events or just to spend a couple of hours immersed in peace. In the historic residence there is the resort, the cafeteria, the restaurant, the wine shop and shops selling organic products. The bar is recommended for breakfasts, lunch breaks or aperitifs. The wine shop is full of wines from all over Italy, the menu includes platters of local cured meats and cheeses. Advised!

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.
