A nice quiet place. First time there in was impressed. I wasn't in the castle itself. But you can walk there very well.

The weather was cold and sunny, but the property made a slightly gloomy impression. Unfortunately, the gardens and buildings are not accessible, but this is because the Count lives there. So understandable. The time of year (winter) naturally contributes to the lack of atmosphere. It will be made up for in spring or summer.

Had imagined more for a photo series. Maybe a nice motif in winter. Unfortunately, you can't get into the back garden because it's private now. Small rounds to go for a walk.

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.
