Again one where is not accessible, too bad. Is privately owned. Is well preserved. Otherwise optically in good shape. I would say small and fine.

A small and beautiful old castle. The castle is situated on a small hill in the village of Buchenbach, south of Mulfingen. The castle is also known as Buchenbach Castle. It doesn't matter whether it's a palace or a castle, for me it's just beautiful. ( P R I V A T OPERATIONS )

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.
