The castle is very modernly equipped, but unfortunately the restaurant can only be visited with a seminar. Service was very friendly, drinks and food came to the table quickly. Plus it tasted very good.

Beautiful, well-kept and, above all, large rooms. Really beautiful castle with a perfect view. It's practical that the landlord is nearby. A great hotel❤

We were able to celebrate our wedding at Schloss Weinberg and can recommend it without reservation. Our contact person Laura looked after us wonderfully and read our wishes straight from our eyes. The organization was perfect and you can tell that there is a certain routine involved. Nevertheless, every one of our wishes was taken into account. By booking the location, accommodation and catering together, the preparation time becomes incredibly efficient and stress-free. The wedding menu was, there is no other way to put it, divine. Our photographer was very happy about the fantastic scenery and after a long day we all fell into extremely comfortable hotel beds. The next day we were able to review the wedding again over a very generous breakfast together. Thank you, Laura & Team, for making the day so unforgettable for us. We will recommend you as often as we can.

The owner not having assumed his promise to provide us with a plug to charge our electric vehicle, the receptionist tried in vain to solve our problem by contacting him again, and again, to have his approval. The result was a one hour long trip back to Belgium, not to mention the hour we lost not enjoying the wedding reception we were there for. The anti-professionalism of the manager leads me to recommend to avoid this place or at least not ask for anything. A simple no beforehand would have solved the problem.

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.
