And still today, although Wieskirche is one of the most popular sights in southern Bavaria, there are just a very few houses around the church, and directely in front of it there is still a large meadow with sheep on it.

One of the loveliest churches in Europe is the "Wies Church". When standing in front of the church the visitor will find it hard to anticipate the splendour of the interior of the nave executed in the exuberant rococo style. The Wies Church was one of the first monuments to have been adopted by Unesco as an object of cultural and natural heritage worthy of being protected and preserved

a.k.a. „Zum Gegeißelten Heiland auf der Wies“
This very famous pilgrimage church in Rokoko style by Dominikus Zimmermann was constructed between 1746 and 1754. It is still located in the meadow between grazing cows.
The rich decorated blind vault is made of wood, which made possible these high windows.

After seeing the church, take a walk down the path that runs along the side of the church.
There are a few farms in the area and we found the people that we meet along the trail to be very friendly.
