Nice to see the property from the inside, as I have driven past it thousands of times. The new cycle path is simply beautiful and the only one in Denmark.

An incredible experience in religious, artistic, historical and not least musical environment with beautiful hymns and choral singing at the old castle's Christmas fair 2022.

The estate and its surroundings are truly some of the most beautiful in Denmark. Drive quietly around the small, narrow roads. It's a postcard view all the way.

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.
