Tips
The venerable church, around which so many legends are entwined, has existed for 550 years. And then there is that anecdote in which Pope Benedict XVI. plays the main role. Joseph Ratzinger visited Weng over the weekend to celebrate the 525-year-old - and many years later he gave the place a holy wall.
