Pleasant space with lots of things you didn't think you needed. Coffee and waffles downstairs. The service is top notch?.

Very good, the guys who collect are absolutely superb. Those who organize pick-up could have had a little better communication.

We were greeted by the lovely aroma of waffles when we entered. Very tidy premises which piqued our curiosity. Clear rooms that were signposted. Was looking for a round dining table, didn't find this this time. But took a waffle and coffee. Made me want to go straight home and clean, because the thought that what is just lying around taking up space at home can be useful for others. Did something to me. Worth a visit!

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.
