It is a three-nave Gothic basilica dedicated to Saint Mauritius with Romanesque elements. The oldest part of the church dates back to the 9th century, the time when the city was founded. Its current condition dates back to 1234, making it the oldest surviving building in Ingolstadt.the church has only one tower of 70m, but it is located directly next on the wall of the whistler tower and behind the rathaus. the entrance ia not from the main street so you have to go behind the rathaus and open a big bronze door. inside the columns are majestic and the altars are from old bavarian gothic style.a must visit.

From the outside, the church stands out with its very different towers. They are not placed next to each other, but rather at the ends. Inside, I particularly like the altar, which is decorated in silver and gold, and the colorful stained glass windows behind it.

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.
