Pretty disappointed. Arrived at 1700 and bought tickets figuring an hour was long enough to see everything. At 1730 the clerk who sold us the tickets said they were closing in 15 minutes and we needed to finish up. She never said they were closing 15 minutes early when we purchased the tickets. The gift shop was also already closed at 1730, so I wasn't able to buy anything. What we saw was ok, but losing 25% of our time really cut into our experience.

One of the most beautiful manors in Lithuania. Inside you can find out about the former owners of this manor Oginskis. Enjoy a walk in the beautiful park. The place is steeped in history.

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.
