Wieskirche, Baroque church in Wieswald, Germany
The Wieskirche features white walls with gold ornaments, intricate frescoes, and large windows that fill the interior with natural light.
Construction of the Wieskirche began in 1748 under the direction of architects Johann Baptist and Dominikus Zimmermann to accommodate increasing numbers of pilgrims.
The church contains numerous works from the Wessobrunner School, including detailed stucco decorations and ceiling paintings depicting religious scenes.
Located near Freising, the church opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours during summer months and shortened hours in winter.
The wooden ceiling structure allowed architects to create taller wall openings, resulting in exceptional natural illumination throughout the church interior.
