The church of Maria de Victoria, also known as the Asam Kirche, is a stunning baroque church. Expecting a church more like the Asam Kirche in Munich which focuses more on these artisans' Baroque plasterwork, I was surprised to find a study in perspective in this medium size church. Confronted with a set of design challenges in what is basically a rectangular church, the brothers worked out a set of multiple perspective points that makes a celestial vision absolutely pop out at the viewer. This is coupled with clever plasterwork along the edges of the ceiling which integrate it with the walls to smoothly transition their work into the plain walls. The altar is a nice baroque composition, but the "professors" seating along the walls of this Jesuit church are extremely well crafted. In the the small treasury in the back of the church there is a magnificent monstrance made in Augsburg that commemorates the Battle of Leponto. While such a warlike scene that is somewhat jarring when seen on such a religious article, I guess it's understandable after such a significant turning point in the then-ongoing war against Islamic expansion. In a somewhat similar vein, the warrior-leader Tilly's crucifix in silver and ivory is also kept in the treasury. Admission is €3. I was allowed to use the English language guidebook to guide my visit. There really is no parking close to the church, but it is a short walk from the large public parking lots. The docents at the church were friendly.

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

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.

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
