Résumé (en anglais)

Together with the Palace of Würzburg by Balthasar Neumann, the Wies Church is one of two buildings in Bavaria to be recorded oon the World Heritage List by UNESCO. Built by Dominikus Zimmermann between 1746 and 1754,this pilgrimage church in its special setting at the foot of the Alps represents the culmination of Bavarian Rococo: a unique "Gesamtkunstwerk" that attracts more than a million visitors a year. In 1984 the Wies Church had to be closed because of serious deterioration of the interior shell of the domed, centrally-planned building: sectionf of plaster and stucco are dangerously loose and even the famous ceiling frescoes by Johann Baptist Zimmermann have cracks and cavities.
