Church in the Meadow Wieskirche
|
|
5 km/3mi southeast of Steingaden, set against the backdrop of the Ammergau Hills in the Alpine foreland, is the widely famed Wieskirche or Kirche in der Wies. This pilgrimage church, built 1746-54, is the finest achievement of the great Baroque architect Dominikus Zimmermann and one of the maturest creations of German Roccoco architecture.
The interior, with its consummate assimilation of architecture and decoration, creates a magnificent effect of light and space.
