Breathtaking is an understatement. Photos can’t possibly do it justice — walking through the temple was an otherworldly experience. It was beautiful at sunset and even more so at night illuminated by the lights from below.

A nighttime visit is magical. The temple is beautifully lit up . You can ask one of the many local guides there to escort you and explain the interesting historical and architectural facts . Pay him 400 LE and he'll be very happy. Guides are there in all languages

The temple’s grandeur is breathtaking, and it looks especially stunning at night when beautifully illuminated. ? The atmosphere here is truly magical, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and travelers. ✨

This place is nothing short of breath taking, just sit there and see all the pillars and structure of the temple, admire how smart the ancient Egyptians were and take plenty of photos. Best to hire a guide, so they can explain the rich history of it.

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.
