Romanesque style church, more beautiful on the outside and sober on the inside.

An absolutely stunning Romanesque church (I would say Norman, but that was just the period on British history).

Very beautiful Romanesque church in the center of Rosheim. Well maintained. Quiet place that calls for contemplation. Regularly the church hosts exhibitions, small concerts. Its square is also used during events organized by the city and its associations: Venetian carnival, Christmas market,...

A wonderful house of Christian worship. Please enter with respect. It is quite an architectual historical place but also a site of active religious practice. It should be admired. Yet visitors should open their hearts and minds to the fact that this isnt just a beautiful stone monument. It serves a lively congregation.

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.
