Sergio Herrera (4 years ago)
Although it is a historic tower in the city with the restoration of the sheet that they have put on it, they have taken away the charm of the historical monument
Mauricio G.R. (4 years ago)
In this place a castle was built with a square tower, crowned with battlements where the remains of the machicolations still remain in its four corners and four walls, the main pointed access door and a large patio. It would be part of a medieval fortress of which only this watchtower would remain on the road from Arcos to Jerez.

Beautiful, although it is in very bad condition, it is a shame.
Fabiana Melgarejo (5 years ago)
It cannot be visited because it is in full restoration. Which seems necessary to me.
Antonio Garcia Prats (5 years ago)
It is a pity that it cannot be visited and is open to the public

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.
