Nice and beautiful church, with a good priest

Nice little church, just a shame that two Christmas trees covered the bride and groom, so we couldn't see them during the wedding. Sincerely Birth

There is nothing that beckons like Idestrup in folk clothes, races, ages and all genders. Mosegaarden's children and a single, young and well-groomed man stand in front of the church and wait for today's protagonists to step out with a clear conscience. God has just told them that it may well be that they do not believe in him. But he believes in them. He repeats this just in case, before the children become first young, then adults and later completely impossible. No matter what. The Almighty sits in the sidecar for the rest of his life. No strings attached, as they say abroad.

The church was closed but the cemetery around it was absolutely 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.
