A lovely church. Classic church room with a modern touch. Nice soundscape for music performances and a newly renovated lovely organ that is truly integrated into the church.

If you love Scania, you should go here. This church that is like a cathedral. In the middle of the Scanian landscape. A must see before resting there.

The church is built in neo-gothic style, it resembles a cathedral. The church was inaugurated in 1897, when it replaced an older church that was demolished in 1895, from which, among other things, the baptismal font, the statue of Jesus and the large chandelier closest to the altar come from. The church was built predominantly with material from Asmundtorp's brickworks. It is a welcoming and warm church with a beautiful, loving and welcoming statue of Jesus. The statue is made in a single piece of marble.

Nice neo-Gothic church. Suitable for experiencing choirs and concerts in addition to the fine church work in the congregation.

A "cathedral" in the middle of the countryside! Pampish and beautiful, both outside and inside.

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.
