Very beautiful castle, you can't visit it from the inside, but it's very nice to look at from the outside when combined with a walk

Beautifully located - although not visible from the road. Surrounded by a park and a pond. Amazing village buildings under the castle. The castle itself is charming. However, it is inhabited, I have the impression that "ordinary people" cannot visit it.

Very nicely maintained castle. Unfortunately you cannot visit it as it is privately inhabited. So all that remains is the pretty view from the outside.

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.
