Wieskirche
This Baroque church is considered one of the best examples of Rococo art. I'm personally not sure what to make of it. I don't have art history so have to leave that part to artists. I tend to prefer churches that are simple and somewhat plain in design. I can't imagine praying in this church. I wonder how it relates to the theology of the time and how the church contributed to people's concept of God and their individual theologies.
The church is dedicated to "The Scourged Savior" see the churches web site for much more information-
