A beautiful church, rebuilt in the 1990s, worth seeing

The quite nice collegiate church was built in the 12th century. The advantage is that it is heated

A beautiful building. You notice it even from the highway, just passing by.

The Roman Catholic Church is one of the few attractions of Wolin, one of the oldest Polish cities.

A gothic church, rebuilt after the war damages relatively not long ago, in the '90s of the twentieth century. It is worth seeing because this place is connected with the history of the Christianization of these lands. Nice stained glass windows in the windows, unfortunately the decor is already contemporary. There is no main altar, characteristic of this type of building. You can enter the galleries.

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.
