Todolella Castle, Todolella, Spain

Todolella Castle was built in the 14th century and later rebuilt as a residence in the 16th century. It comprises four structures, sitting around a central patio, where there are different types of rooms.

The mason-built walls of Todolella Castle are topped with merlons, thanks to a recent restoration project. The castle is currently a private property and inhabited, but you can come for a visit when you book in advance.

Although it is a private property, we were able to go almost to the garden because it is not fenced and access can be done by car. They don't like to be bothered; There is a sign on the door stating that you cannot visit and that they should not ring the doorbell.

It is a home and cannot be visited. But the town anchored in the Middle Ages, all in stone. Within the town you can access the castle. But there was no restaurant or bar open, there were no services. It wasn't bad...

Mandatory visit when visiting the Ports region, specifically the beautiful town of La Todolella.

The castle cannot be visited because it is private property. After following the directions to get to the castle along a path that if I do not go with my 4x4, I find a sign stating that it is private property. I recommend NOT GOING to the castle because you will find that it is closed and on the outside there is nothing to see, what a disappointment.

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.
