Very interesting. From the Iron age to the 17th Century. Everything well preserved. Take a mobile along for explanations of major pieces. We'll worth a visit

Terrific museum of the history of the Trier region. We learned a lot ?
Paul Sanders (4 years ago)
Superb collection, but the presentation is crying out for a revamp, as so often in german museums. Therefore only three stars.

Nice museum, not too big but interesting if you like roman history.

Excellent. Give yourself plenty of time. English speakers should get an audio guide as most signage is in German.

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.
