Krumbach Castle, Krumbach, Austria

Krumbach Castle was constructed as a fortress in the 11th century. In 1192 Gerhardus de Chrumpach was mentioned in documents for the first time. The fortress was destroyed by the Magyars in 1260. It was later owned for over 200 years by the family of Pálffy von Erdöd.

Sold to an Austrian lawyer 1875, the castle changed private owners several times. It was converted into a hotel in 1993 and owned by the Austrian investor Mirko Kovats and his Artis Hotel Group as of 2009. Since 2020, it has operated as Schloss Krumbach International School, a private school with boarding.

Great castle, visible from afar, but privately owned and therefore only visible from the outside. There is also an international school in the castle.

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.
