Description
Prompted by pilgrims flocking to see a holy statue that performed miracles, the Nobertine Abbott of Steingaden commissioned a splendid pilgrimage church. The magnificently decorated Church of the Scourged Savior is located between Steingaden and Wildsteig in the Pfaffenwinckel region of Bavaria. Between 1745 and 1754, the famous architect and stucco sculptor Dominikus Zimmermann enlisted the help of a number of the leading artists of his time to create the perfect and undisputed highlight of Bavarian rococo architecture. The chancel was consecrated in 1749 and the church itself in 1754.

There are a few little controls on the iPhone camera where you can adjust the lighting after you take a shot. You can also straighten, crop, and make hand-written notes. !!! Technology!
