Pilgrimage Church of Wies

This medieval church stands on the southern stretch of the Romantic Road.

Reviewed By LucindaT887 - Kingman, United States

Because the Wieskirche is a building by itself in the fields, it's easy to see it's simple architecture from every angle. The interior of the church is one of the best Rococo churches that I've seen. The colors of the paintings on the walls are both vibrant and subtle at the same time and painted in a way that you can concentrate on detail without being overwhelmed by the experience. The placement and size of the windows lets you follow the flow of the oval shape on the outside and illuminates the objects on the inside so that you can easily take it all in. It is said that a statue of Christ wept tears near this site in 1738 and began the pilgrimages to the site. I've been to many churches in the world and this one is on my top ten list. Many concerts are held here because of the excellent acoustics. Parking is cheap and convenient.

Neumuenster

Reviewed By travelguidesbykate

Beautiful architecture, with stunning colours. Right in the middle of the city centre, very easy to get to. Definitely recommend taking a walk by here if you're returning to get a train, as it is on the way to the station.

Stadtpfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt

Reviewed By WiseTreeOwl - Cheltenham, United Kingdom

From the outside this church looks fairly un-astounding but when you walk through the door it is completely different, it is magnificent and beautiful. The whole church is well looked after and very colourful. It is a mix of many different periods and well worth a visit by anyone who appreciated history and art. My favourite attraction in Landsberg
