UNESCO site of Rococo Architecture- the Pilgrimage Church of Wies

Looking to add some UNESCO magic to your Germany trip? 🌏 Don’t skip Steingaden—the Pilgrimage Church of Wies is an absolute must! I was blown away by its pastel rococo interiors and tranquil countryside setting. Getting here feels like a secret mission but it’s 100% worth the effort 😍.

Top Spot to Visit:
- Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wies 12, 86989 Steingaden, Germany)
UNESCO-listed and jaw-droppingly gorgeous, this 18th-century church is full of light and ornate details. Even if you’re not usually into churches, trust me—you’ll want to snap a million pics inside! Opening hours change by season: 8:00–17:00 (Nov–Feb), up to 20:00 in summer months.

Insider Tip:
Go early in the morning or later in the day for fewer crowds and the softest natural light. The area surrounding the church is picturesque farmland, so take time to stroll around and enjoy views of the Alps in the distance.

Getting Around:
Steingaden is best reached by car. If you’re relying on public transport, take a regional train to Weilheim in Oberbayern then transfer to a bus—check schedules in advance!

Food Rec:
Try local Bavarian treats at the small cafés nearby; Apfelstrudel and coffee hit different in Wies!
