It's cute. The Christmas market provided a nice atmosphere, and it was a nice experience.

We had our wedding on September 9th, 2023 at Schloss Wildberg and can only recommend this as a wedding location!! A fantastic ambience! We were able to start decorating and setting up from Thursday morning, so we didn't have that much stress just before the wedding, and we're very grateful for that! We also received all kinds of support on site and everything was implemented according to our wishes. We would always want to get married there again, it was really beautiful!

We decided to have our wedding at Wildberg Castle a year ago and the big day was a week ago. It was the best decision! Not only is the location itself a dream, but the collaboration with Gerhard Koller was also flawless. Here you can still speak of “One man, one word”. Our guests were also thrilled because even the wedding ceremony could take place in the castle.

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.
