Eksjö Church, Eksjö, Sweden

Eksjö Church was built in the later part of the 19th century to the designs of architect J. F. Åbom. Much of the inventory was retained from the earlier church that stood on the site, whose structure is partly incorporated. The altarpiece and pulpit are both 17th century works. The organ facade dates from the 18th century. The church is a popular venue for organ recitals. It stands in the heart of the town.

Eksjö Church is a nice white church building. Incredibly beautiful inside with bright colors. Feels very harmonious. The church is located on the main square on the other side of the Stadshotellet. The clock tower appears from afar. Especially the design of the back appealed to me a lot and nice trees decorate the small place around the church. There is a memorial stone on one side and a disabled ramp.

Eksjö Church is a nice white church building. Located by the main square on the other side of the City Hotel. The bell tower appears from afar. The special design of the back appealed to me a lot and nice trees adorn the little place around the church. There is a memorial stone on one side and a handicap ramp.

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.
