Contemplative, beautiful morning mass, moving sermon in a wonderful setting. I would like to visit the early mass there more often!

We had the honor of a private tour and were already at Holy Mass at Jaidhof Palace! Heartfelt “God bless you” for the wonderful tour and hospitality. We will be happy to come back!

Beautiful castle to see. Nice to walk around once, but nothing more than that. It was fairly unclear whether it was open and if so where to enter. The garden is a nice walk.

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.
