Roman Catholic church in the municipality of Steingaden, Bavaria, Germany
The Pilgrimage Church of Wies is a Roman Catholic oval Rococo church, designed in the late 1740s and completed in 1754. It is the major work of the brothers Johann Baptist and Dominikus Zimmermann, the latter of whom lived nearby for the last eleven years of his life. It is located in the foothills of the Alps, in the municipality of Steingaden, Germany. It belongs to the diocese of Augsburg, and is dedicated to Saint Joseph. Because of its outstanding Rococo architecture, the Wieskirche was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.
