A well maintained wind mill museum... It has more than a century old farm equipment on display... Indoor museum with tools n equipment is very nice... A visit to this place is like a walk down into the history.... It also showcases the life the local population led a century ago... It has a small cafeteria offering limited food n snack items.. A must visit ...

Nice few hours to visit whilst in Säärema. Can go inside some of the windmills and experience it. Ticket is fair for family of 4 - two adults and 2 children.

We didn't go inside. The place is perhaps located in the middle of nowhere!

Not very welcoming, not only we were unable to order any food but for the inconvenience they also tried to charge money for visit even though we were only interested in food and nothing else. Not recommended

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.
