Nice place

Horbelev church is without a doubt the church in Denmark that has the best priest in Denmark ? Mette Marie is always well behaved and accommodating to everyone ? The church is always decorated with flowers and lights ?? there is a fantastic atmosphere in the church, it feels nice to be in church. The church is opposite the vicarage and a small forest. Very beautiful church and cemetery, the cemetery is always neat and tidy ? definitely a visit, especially if Mette Marie holds a church service, Mette Marie can light up an entire church room with her fantastic aura. ? if all churches had a priest, like Mette Marie, the churches would quickly be full. ? We thank you on behalf of us and our nurse, for your attendance ?

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.
