The pest church in Weilheim

The pestchurch in Weilheim

We will be organizing a visit to the pest church in Weilheim this month , a date has not yet been confirmed , so watch this space .

The church is situated between hohenkasten and Weilheim and lays in the middle of a forest , in the times of the pest this was the last resting place for many who fell victim to this terrible desease .

At the end of the 18th century after the pest was over they then errected the church that now stands there on top of the graveyard.

Many of the people who lived there were afraid to go near there because it was said that one could hear the moaning and crying which came from the graveyard.

There are wells that have been built around the church and the way they have been built forms a pentagram , and it is said that an area of 5Km around the church is supossed to be cursed.

It has been said that there can also be a lady seen in the forest , who is hanging from a tree , and there is also the black dog , which is known to show people who have lost thier way the way out of the forest.

It has also been said that when there are no candles burning in the church ,a terrible red figure has been seen at the window with frightening eyes , is it also said that a few people have come out of the forest after having lost thier minds .

So all in all this sounds like a nice place to visit .
