Great staff who are more than happy to talk to you about the place history. A LOT of toys, not only for kids but gives nostalgic feeling for adults too. Definitely recommend!

This is more of a huge (truly huge) private collection rather than a museum. There’s basically no information what so ever about the different objects. Also - a lot of the objects are really dusty and are clearly not being preserved. That said it’s a huge and wonderful collection of toys! Every thing from the 40s up until now. Mostly focusing on Barbie, Electric trains and Lego. Well worth the time and money.

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.
