Wieskirche, Romantic Road

Approaching the Wieskirche, you’re likely to be deceived by the simple, understated forms of the traditional whitewashed church, which do nothing to betray the delightful opulence found inside.

This UNESCO-listed pilgrimage church’s Rococo interior is a feast of sumptuous colour, golden filigree and heavenly marble, all bathed in angelic white light – a vision of what locals call Liebensfreude – the joy of life.
