Night visit in the past of the castle which associates anguish fear nervous laughter !! I recommend completely. The speakers are really in their role, the guide is scary. All this in a very beautiful castle which is conducive to a terrifying visit. We went there as a family and loved it. We will go back for other events, sure !!!

More than pleasant guided visit to the Château de Trélon. The guide is very understanding, kind, cultured and funny. He made us discover every corner of the castle with elegance and romanticism. The place offers an ideal panoramic view of the fields. We feel good and rested, in the company of a squirrel seen near a tree. The rooms are very luxurious and loaded with a fascinating story that the guide has managed to convey to us with precision.

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.
