Fantastic scenery and at the same time a nice experience. As soon as you reach the castle you are in the 21st century of the Middle Ages ?. The hosts are very friendly and the service is great. The food is great. Reaching the room is a bit difficult, but that's just nagging at the highest level, because who can claim to have slept in a castle?? ☺️

This is an old nice castle, which is used as an hotel, surrounded from apple trees and vineyards. They have nice pool with a wonderful view. It is very difficult to get a hotel room, since a lot of people want to stay here.

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.
