The Pilgrimage Church of Wies, known as the Wieskirche, is a Roman Catholic oval Rococo church designed in the late 1740s and completed in 1754 by the brothers Johann Baptist and Dominikus Zimmermann, the latter of whom lived nearby for the last eleven years of his life. 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, and its outstanding Rococo architecture led to its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.
