A very beautifully maintained castle along De Kromme Rijn. There is a large garden around it that could use some maintenance. If you drive along the main road from W.b.D towards Bunnik, the castle shines on the right side of the road.

Beautiful walks possible around Beverweerd Castle. The castle grounds are currently "no trespassing". That doesn't matter for the walk. Walked via clog paths. Largely also accessible with a dog on a leash. Approximately 5 kilometers. Had lunch at Landrucci, a charming, somewhat Italian farm shop with a covered veranda.

Worth the effort. Visited an exhibition by Gert Jan Jansen. Beautiful building in a beautiful location. Lots of history. Beautiful estate. The paintings of this master forger are also a journey through (art) history.

Always nice to see the great collection of paintings by master copied Janssen. Impressive that someone masters so many painting styles.

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.
