Beautiful church with south western gothic architecture and octagonal tower. It is located a short walk from the old Town in the saint cyprian area just to the west of the Garonne river and can be seen in the distance just over the bridge near hospice de la grave. At the time of visiting it was very peaceful and quiet, it is well worth a visit while in Toulouse.

Saint Nicolas Catholic Church in Toulouse is a beautiful small building that has a lot of history and charm. Keep in mind that the lighting inside is low and that natural light comes in through the high windows only. Your pictures might need more light to be clearer, but your visit will still be memorable.

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.
