If you around Steckborn go and see this nice ruin.. The Neuburg above Mammern in the Swiss canton of Thurgau was built in the middle of the 13th century by Baron Ulrich III. built by Altenklingen. Since 1319 she was as a fief of the monastery of St. Gallen in changing ownership. In 1690 she acquired the monastery Rheinau. The hill castle was however canceled 1745. Today, however, are still extensive ruins with remains of the great curtain wall to see. From the main castle the remains of the foundations of the keep are preserved.

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.
