After many years we visited the beautiful Petershagen Castle at the weekend. It's great to see what has happened here in the last few years to bring the castle back to life. We only got a first impression of the public area and it leaves us wanting more. The guest room is super rustic and fits perfectly into the authentic ambience - the vaulted seating areas in particular are a hit. The beer garden also invites you to linger on nice days. Great work has been done here. Unfortunately the season is almost over but we'll be back.

A beautiful castle under reconstruction under difficult regulations. It is an admirable work that is currently being done there. The castle offers self-service drinks and food in the beer garden. There is a rustic feel-good atmosphere both in the building and in the inner courtyard. The hosts are very friendly and care about the well-being of the guests. We keep our fingers crossed that all upcoming activities are well received will be found and the castle will be able to take new paths at some point. Thanks also for the interesting tour!

Was there on the day of the open monument and I have to say, I really liked it! The new owners' concept sounds very promising. I'm sure it's in good hands now!

Super nice place. Is still being renovated, but the gastronomy is open and the staff is super friendly. Here you can linger and let your soul dangle on a hike or bike tour to strengthen yourself. Recommended. ??

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.
