The Pilgrimage Church of Wies, 1981
The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is a remarkably richly decorated pilgrimage church in Wies (municipality Steingaden) in the so-called Pfaffenwinkel, built between 1745-54 by the brothers Johann Baptist and Dominikus Zimmermann. The altarpiece was made by the Munich court painter Balthasar August Albrecht. The four figures of the great theologians of the Occident (Hieronymus, Ambrose, Augustine, Gregory the Great) are the early work of the Tyrolean sculptor Anton Sturm. The organ from 1957 by Orgelbau Schmid (Kaufbeuren) is housed in the historical case of Johann Georg Hoerterich
