One of the most interesting buildings in Slanské. The roof from the 15th century is also not often seen. Unfortunately, the city management sees it differently and that is why it is only open thanks to the voluntary activity of people, especially around the Parish Charity Slaný. Dik belongs to them.

A beautiful Gothic church built on the site of an earlier Romanesque basilica. I also recommend a tour of the interior (there are open days throughout the year).

They drove by. We stopped and walked a bit through the streets of the city. It was 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.
