St Bartholomew's Church

Staré Město, Czech Republic

It was used as a burial place of the Pernštejn family. In the interior there is a valuable main altar with the painting 'The Passion of St. Bartholomew' from 1692 by Michael Willmann and a painting decoration by Mikoláš Aleš.

Beautiful stained glass windows with a decorated ceiling just above the entrance to the Church and a rich altar. Nicely located church.

The parish church of St. Bartholomew in Pardubice belongs to one of the landmarks of the city and its historical core. The church is an original Gothic building and, according to documented records, it is mentioned here from the second half of the 13th century. It was also slightly modified structurally in several centuries due to capacity reasons. I didn't get inside because it opens, for example, for regular religious services and other important events in the city itself. For myself, I can only admire his beauty from the outside again ♥️??.

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.
