Kellereischloss is a palace in Hammelburg, Bavaria. The Baroque style palace was be translated as 'Wine Cellar Castle'. Kellereischloss was designed and built between 1726 and 1731 by Andrea Gallasini [de] (1681-1766), architect to the court of Adolphus von Dalberg, Prince-Abbot of Fulda. The site had been a wine cellar, and the seat of a tax collector, since 1279. The Prince-Abbot now desired a summer residence. It seems to have been to his satisfaction; for, in 1737, he died there.
The giant cellars under Kellereischloss could, at the high point of wine production in Hammelburg at the end of the 18th century, store 101 wine barrels with a total capacity of more than 700,000 litres.
References: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.
