Pilgrimage Church of Wies

You can’t help feeling closer to the Lord just walking into the beautiful church. Everyone was so respectful and felt at awe looking at all the detailed pictures and statues. I even gave my euros to light a candle to bless my family.

This church is so beautiful. There are carving in the pew rails dating back to the 1800's. The art wood is beautiful. A must see on the Edelweiss tour.

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) was designed in the late 1740s by brothers Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps, in Steingaden in Bavaria. Since 1983 it is under the protection of UNESCO because of its outstanding rococo architecture. It is not very large, but it’s interior is superb!

A hidden gem! We were tipped off by another tour guide that we should check it out, and they were right... we took some little back road to get there and came upon it and were surprised. But, it's even more amazing inside!

Nature, a church in the field, in the middle of nowhere. You open the door and fall into a rococo fairy tale, the eyes and the mind cannot take in all this beauty

Church in the middle of nowhere. Nothing special to see from from the outside. But WOW! What a treasure of surprises inside. The artwork is spectacular. Intricate and delicate from floor to ceiling. Don't pass it by. You won't be disappointed

Beautiful church in a wonderful setting. You can get lost in the ceiling. Central to the church is a statue of the scourged Jesus. Originally in the small chapel in front it became pilgrimage site after the statue began to weep and miracles we credited to it. The current church was commissioned to accommodate the statue and pilgrims.

The Uber-baroque Cathedral is a must see! Amazing artistry and history.

Must visit church, if you felt like the outside was beautiful then the inside is out of this world! Definitely can spend hours looking at every detail put inside the church. Make sure to leave a donation! They have candles and blessed Virgin Mary charm to take home after donation.

Beautiful place to see and simply relax on a bench outside looking over the green fields. Interesting frescoes. Walk to the front then turn around and look at the large gate painted on the ceiling. Then walk to both sides and see how the gate changes angle.

beautifully decorated church. parking almost next door for 2€. you can also admire the surroundings

I first visited Wieskirche in the '60s and it has barely changed since that time. The surprise of finding an opulent, beautiful church in the midst of the relatively unpopulated and unbuilt Bavarian countryside is something that doesn't dim with repetition and is still as strong today as 55 years ago. Founded due to the appearance of a religious miracle to a young girl, it is still a pilgrimage goal in modern times. The stunningly detailed baroque interior inspires reverence even in skeptics and should not be missed. Food, drink, lavatories, and souvenirs are available in tasteful shops and restaurants located very nearby. A visiti is strongly recommended.

Beautiful church, in very quiet place surrounded with beautiful scenery. Gift shops are also available, and the service is done accordingly. Sometimes, they have small orchestra playing lovely music. Worth to visit

Wonderful church which was built to accommodate the huge number of visitors that make the journey here to be near the famous statue of Christ!

Look at the very modest size of the original chapel of less than 10 square meters size!

The large chapel in the meadow now can seat hundreds of worshipers and draws thousands of visitors each year!

The beauty and scale of the Pilgrimage Church of Wies brings a perspective to a person of how mighty God and Christ are while having such compassion for anyone who stands in the presence of such glory!

Just an amazingly beautiful place. I’ve yet to come across a more pleasing church interior in my European travels. To think that churches in the great cities and am capitals did not wow me like this humble church in the middle of nature. It is neither opulent nor simple. Just a perfectly decorated church that made me marvel and linger on every area of the walls and ceiling. Wow!

This is quite remarkable. The setting and story behind it quite impressive. The scenery is beautiful. The church itself is magnificent!

Beautifuly located UNESCO church, with amazing artwork inside <3 Big parking is provided (with charge, change required it's machine), caffes and restaurants are on spot as well as souvenir shops. Entrance is free, but you can leave donation.

There’s a reason y this church is a unesco world heritage site. This Rocco style church is so intricately designed that even after a few church viewing/tours, it never fails to awe me.

A pro tip, do remember to stand in the middle of the church and look directly up. It’s like a painted picture book right out of the ages.

One of the prettiest church ever. The inside is stunning, nothing like I expected. Recommend the visit.
