Visual feast !!! is just a part of entire impression. This place is delivering amazing experience as well as creating unforgetable memories. Get your senses ready … Telling too much may spoil a mysterious charakter of this „rabbit hole”. „Alice, You have to decide, whether to get in or not”.

Lovely hotel and lovely conference rooms! Each room in the castle has its own personality, and this is refreshing to experience! Animals all around and the perfect place to host an offsite! Lovely staff and food as well

Best experience ever! The hotel is one off a kind, the decor and design off every room is unique, where ever you look something new catches the eye. The restaurant and food was great both dinner and breakfast

Meal was Good but loads of salt flakes on most things which was a shame as otherwise would have been good food. Place really quirky but I felt the owners were forcing their ‘ cool dream’ on customers. Breakfast a choice of 6 things that were fatty and sugary mostly, bar melon. Lack of choice and my wife left hungry as she couldn’t eat anything but the melon. Beds comfy though which was good .

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.
