We visited around a dozen churches on our trip recently to Germany and France. The Wies Church, while out in the middle of nowhere, was worth the trip. The setting in and of itself is inspiring but the architecture of the church is stunning. We met some people a few days earlier at the hotel (in Munich) who told us... More

One of the most extravagant rococo buildings in the world, a masterpiece by Dominikus Zimmermann. Wieskirche is a noted pilgrimage church, drawing visitors from all over the globe. It’s located on the slopes of the Ammergau Alps between Ammer and Lech, and worth much more than a quick stop - it’s amazing feel the atmosphere during the services. More

The Church was renovated about 20 years ago and is fatastically decorated,It´s well worth a visit if you´re in the area,should the Church be full of coach tours there´s a very nice Church whose decoration is a match for this one at Rottenbuch where you turn left just before the Echelsbacher Bridge instead of right towards Oberammergau,that´s if you´re travelling...

The surrounding area is beautiful especially covered in snow. The Rococo decorations, the... More

A quiet unassuming church in the country that has to be the most ornate church I have ever seen. I have seen many impressive churches but this one is the best. Make sure to stop in if you can. More

Rococo may not be to everyone's taste but this church is unique and could not be in more picturesque surroundings. Best visited in Winter as the sun sets over the Alps. More

Touristattractian nr. 1. Full house, huge parkinglot (not free of charge) and we had to wait for a vacant one (and it was not even high season yet). Crowded with busloads of tourists, various nationalities. It is supposed to be the most beautifull chuch, but in my opninion the church in Rottenbuch, only 10 km further on, was even better.... More
