Notre-Dame de Beaugency Abbey was built in the 12th century. It has witnessed major episodes in the history of France, particularly in relation to the Hundred Years War. Today fragmented between several establishments, it is open to visitors

An abbey church without a bell, the Saint-Firmin bell tower without a church provides ringing, replacing the bells of the abbey church. A completely pleasant abbey, for the expert tourist in search of heritage riches, for the walker in search of pretty things, or simply to discover this soothing place full of ancient and rare architecture which is to be visited when passing by. in Beaugency. Built in the 11th, 12th, 15th and 17th centuries, I really liked its Romanesque heart with an ambulatory and recent stained glass windows.

Very pretty cathedral with nice light effects on the colourful windows. The entrance is free of course. I recommend you take few minutes inside at the end of the day when light go through it. Peaceful, relaxing, not much poeple around.

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.
