Great place for a walk and taking some pictures. It’s also at the top of the hill so it’s a good workout. A few nice historic building nearby as well.

Gorgeous church from the outside. Absolutely perfect from every angle. There's not much to see inside - It feels more like a community center than a historic special space. It is located on a small hill between the houses, near also a children's playground. I highly recommend nearby the restaurant Meatballs for the people it's about 5 minutes walk from the church - you can taste meatballs of all kinds of meat here

Sofia kyrka looks like a slott, the special arrangement is the chairs, arranged the same shape along with the kyrka.

Disappointing and unpleasant... Feels more like a pocket shop than a church and they won't let you use the bathroom either.

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.
