St Cadwaladr's Church, Llangadwaladr, United Kingdom

St Cadwaladr's Church is a Grade I listed church in Llangadwaladr, Anglesey. The church is built in the perpendicular style. The nave is dated to the 12th to early 13th century and the chancel to the 14th.

A beautiful old church hidden away from the road. The churchyard is well maintained and quirky with a lamppost and giant Celtic cross. Sadly the church itself was locked.

Church is closed due to current restrictions but worth visiting the churchyard to see the impressive Celtic Cross, the oldest in Wales

Beautiful, peaceful church on Anglesey. Hidden away down a little side road. Very interesting stained glass windows. Well worth a visit.

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.
