St. Walburga
St. Walburga is a parish church in Weißensee, a village near Füssen in Bavaria’s Allgäu region. The nearby lake and routes place it within the Allgäu landscape.
Its history reaches back to the twelfth century, while the folded-roof tower preserves an early medieval feature. Extensions from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries shaped the main building. A seventeenth-century renovation gave the interior and exterior their Baroque appearance, alongside older medieval elements. This layered architecture lets you see several periods together.
The high altar, designed by Dominikus Zimmermann in 1715, anchors the interior with a Madonna lactans altarpiece. Mary nurses the infant Jesus in this distinctive devotional scene. Dedicated to the eighth-century English missionary and abbess Walburga, the church remains part of village Catholic life. One detail stays especially clear: the folded roof rising above the church tower.
