Freezing room when we arrived, owner extremely discreet and reluctant to pass on and share. We were hoping for a little more warmth and friendliness in this place that is supposedly steeped in history. Damage Nathalie and Sacha

Friendly and very discreet welcome (the owner serves you the dishes and closes it behind him to give you complete privacy). The meal was very good. Very nice place renovated with great taste. Renovated bathroom and comfortable bedding. Missing a blind on one of the two windows (it can be annoying in summer!!). Very quiet place. I recommend

Nice fortified house but not a castle. The evening meal was good, but not gourmet. The breakfast was plentiful but bought commercially. The setting is pleasant and relaxing. Spacious and comfortable room for the night. The friendly owner. Bring a coffee carafe for the evening lol.

The place is lovely, has been very carefully restored, but no visit (neither free nor guided) is organized despite the signage at the entrance. At most we can go around it. Several of us were disappointed.

Very good time at the grand cour, for a weekend. Very good meal served in the evening, and incredible calm during our stay in this very well renovated castle!

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.
