Cute small church with a colorful cemetery.

Beautiful area with both lake castle and church and now with a nice footpath, really nice trip, just one but the small wooden bridge in the reeds is very unstable to walk on

Nice view of the fjord, the lake and its birds.

Beautiful church and beautiful cemetery, both very well maintained. The church is closed to the public but the cemetery is open to them. We have access to a very beautiful view of the fields where we can see animals such as cows or geese. The view also allows us to observe the fjord which is also very beautiful.

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.
