Everything is a ruin, they are raising the walls, there is nothing inside

Nice spot here to take in the surroundings. Nice walk there. You can taste the history. The contours of the castle are clearly visible, neat and clean. Beautiful views, despite the somewhat bad weather. Good view of the sea, good overview of the old town. Very quiet on the street.

Beautiful town of Maestrazgo. The castle fortress is very interesting, they are currently restoring it. If you are in the area, you cannot miss it.

The castle is a little hidden treasure, at the top of a charming town with very welcoming people. You can visit and walk around the whole thing, and we were told it was under restoration... At least the parts at risk were well protected. From the top you can enjoy an imposing view that is well worth the climb. Don't hesitate to stop for a bite and a drink at one of the village's eateries on your way down. We visited the castle at sunset, with wonderful light and stunning views of the surroundings. At night, the castle is lit up and the view from below is stunning!

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.
