A very beautiful place with many precious visits and even more with the ages of man. The viewpoint and the fabulous church and a very charming place. The square is very cool and the convent of nuns too.

Maravillosa iglesia del convento fundado por el Duque de Lerma. Antiguamente recorría un pasadizo desde el actual Parador,hasta la Colegiata, pasando por el Monasterio. Aún hoy se conserva el pasadizo interno desde el monasterio a la colegiata. Tiene un bonito retablo con Cristo crucificado junto a la Virgen y San Juan, coronando la iglesia. Abajo, La Ascensión en el centro, tal y como es el nombre del convento, y a cada lado, San Francisco y Santa Clara, fundadora de las Clarisas. Actualmente ya no se celebra misa diaria pero se puede visitar todos los días y es un lugar perfecto para hacer una parada y rezar. El convento en su totalidad pasó a ser propiedad de Iesu Communio, comunidad que se ocupa de el. Venden en la puerta contigua los mejores dulces de España....

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.
