The Pilgrimage Church of Wies of Germany is an oval rococo church, which is designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. He spent the last 11 years of his life in a nearby dwelling in Wies, Germany. Pilgrimage Church of Wies, Germany is located in the foothills of the Alps in the Weilheim-Schongau district of Bavaria, Germany.

There is a history behind the making of Pilgrimage Church of Wies. It is stated that tears were seen in 1738 tears on a dilapidated wooden figure of the Scourged Savior. This miracle resulted in gathering huge crowds to see the wooden figure. In the year 1740, a small chapel was built to house the statue. However, no sooner it was realized that the chapel is too small for the number of pilgrims that it attracted.

As a result the construction of Pilgrimage Church of Wies in Germany got started between 1745 and 1754. The interior of the church was decorated in stuccowork in the tradition of the Wessobrunner School. Sculpture and murals were combined to unleash the divine in visible form. The Pilgrimage Church in Wies was commonly regarded as Zimmermann’s final masterpiece and was secularized in the beginning of the 19th century.

Subsequently, protests by the local farmers saved the jewel of rococo architecture and design from being sold and demolished. The Pilgrimage Church of Wies, Germany was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in the year 1983 and underwent massive restoration in 1985 to 91.
