Old and beautiful medieval church. It probably has the country's oldest clock.

The venerable church building dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paulus from the year 1166 is a great starting point for trips to Rømua and Glomma.

Beautiful old church dating back to the 1100's. Was fun to see how my family originated from this region.

Flott gammel kirke fra 1100 tallet. Presten fortalte mye interessant om kirken. Flott akustikk for orgel musikk.

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.
