A Special Place at the Edge of the Forest

Idyllically located in the north of Freising, the Wies Church manifests itself as a quiet pilgrimage site with a historical aura. Since the 1740s, the image of the Scourged Savior has been venerated here. From a simple image on a tree, a location developed that was already firmly rooted in pilgrimage in the 18th century.

Architecture, Devotion, and Atmosphere

The Little Wies presents itself as a harmonious ensemble of church, cemetery, and embedded building complex. Those arriving here experience not only baroque and rococo elements but also a place of reflection that appeals to culture enthusiasts, pilgrims, and those seeking peace.

The Way to the Wies Church

The access via the Stations of the Cross to the Wies makes the visit a small walk through the nature and cultural landscape of Freising. The official guide describes the circular route over the plantation and the Freising Forest; from there, the Wies Church is directly opposite. This makes the journey itself part of the experience.
