I went to church with my cousin. She is so helpful in making sure it's nice where my beloved Dad and Mom lie. And my cousin's son unfortunately lies there a little way away There have been baptisms, weddings. Funerals. And the priests who worked there, have both baptized, confirmed, solemnized and funerals.

Very nice road paintings from the 15th century although they are restored in the early 20th century. An interesting church with nice details including a medieval wooden cabinet.

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.
