Wieskirche is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is apparently a big deal. The UNESCO site describes it as “The sanctuary of Wies, a pilgrimage church miraculously preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and a masterpiece of creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.”
As we drove up to the church I thought it was a lovely church in a beautiful rural setting, but when we stepped inside…..
the beauty of the architecture was breathtaking!
The ceiling had beautiful paintings….at the top is the door to heaven.
When I turned to leave we caught a glimpse of the organ on the way out. This church had unique architecture and I am sure is worthy of the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.
