We were here for a leadership retreat with work. The preparation and organization was excellent both before and during the event. We were warmly welcomed and everything had been prepared according to our (extra) wishes. The castle itself has a special atmosphere, but the people who work there (especially the volunteers) make the difference because you can feel how important the place is to them. The guest house is also great. I can only highly recommend companies or course organizers to stay here.

Un castello bellissimo contornato dalle sue mura e dalle Alpi della Val Venosta, purtroppo non siamo riusciti a visitarlo all'interno per questioni di tempo... ma sicuramente sarà da ritornarci appena ne avremo l occasione.

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.
