You can walk up the othside area from main gate till the lake gate for the schloss. Its a private area so you cannot go and see it closer. There is small walkway but leads to neoghbours homes, so a dead end. No place to go anywhere else. Beautiful schloss but if it is not for public then main gate should have words private written. It feels bad you come close and find it private. If its private then close it or display at gate please.

A very relax and quiet place for a walk. Beautiful building. Try to not disturb the neighbors.

Marvelous place, although it was closed. Anyways, go right the gate to bushes and you will see an awesome view to the castle and the lake

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.
