Wallfahrtsmuseum Wieskirche (Wieskirche pilgrimage museum)
"Here dwells happiness, here the heart finds peace", said the church's builder, Abbot Marianus II Mayer. However, it was certainly rarely really quiet here, after all, an immense stream of pilgrims to the "Scourged Saviour on the Wies" was the reason for building the church. And even today, the Wieskirche, a rococo jewel and World Heritage Site, built between 1746 and 1754 according to plans by Dominikus Zimmermann, is a popular destination for pilgrims and tourists. Things are a little more tranquil in the pilgrimage museum in the adjoining prelate's house. Here, confirmations of indulgences or requests to "touch" the miraculous image, miracle books, devotional objects, devotional and votive pictures as well as objects from the Brotherhood of the Scourged Saviour document the origins and development of the pilgrimage.
