The building is in good order from the outside, I did not go inside. A school has been located here since 1930.

Hummuli manor, looks like a school on the premises. The building has remained in a fairly good condition, the surroundings are well-kept. It is possible to meet various living creatures in the park in the summer, the info says.

A very run down manor house. There is a key hanging in front and no one seems to notice.

Nice place, but the ticket price for a visit to the castle is not worth the money.

From the castle building to the schoolhouse in the park

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.
