Wieskirche

While visiting the neighboring town of Fussen and Neuschwanstein Castle, make a small detour to see the Wieskirche or the Pilgrimage Church of Wies. This stunning building is a true expression of the baroque and rococo styles, and the interiors throw a brilliant light on the craftsmanship and artistic expression of this period. Listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, Wieskirche is a must-visit. The beautiful frescos painted by the Zimmerman brothers, ornate windows, and the fine stucco work elaborate on the theological theme and bring it to life. The church is, to this day, a popular pilgrimage destination.
