Marienthal in a small place of pilgrimage. The image of the Sorrowful Mother has been venerated here for more than 600 years. Beautiful baroque church embedded in an idyllic landscape. The church is open daily and invites you to enjoy silence and worship. There are also local restaurants on site.

The place of rest, which unfortunately is not treated as such, the door there is slammed again and again. What's not so nice is that the main portal closes automatically, what if someone forgets the time?

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.
