Pretty charming estate, with buildings from the 12-13th + 16th century. Interesting when combined with lodgings for events (any wedding, family reunion, etc.) in order to be able to stay together while enjoying the place. The lodgings are (summary of gathered opinions) uneven and SOMETIMES basic/perfectible from the point of view of equipment or fittings but in any case always clean and comfortable, especially if we take into account the age and heritage character of the places . Good bedding. Pets prohibited on the estate. Only certain lodgings are accessible to people with reduced mobility. It’s a shame that the castle or the chapel are not open to visitors.

The location is easy to find and indicated. Once you get to the parking lot you start to wonder if you are in the right place, as no one else was there when we were there. It seems like you are walking on private property. It appears that the location is being renovated and we are very curious about the progress.

This castle is simply magical. As a wedding photographer, I have had the chance to shoot there several times and each time it is a huge pleasure. Anyway, looking forward to the next one

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.
