In the course of its chronological historic stages that Bavarian centre has

their commercial activities busy routes established between Bavaria and the
Salzburger Bundesland, the state of Salzburg with Capital the notorious city of Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart when the current local Alpine Pass leading to that famed Austrian
destination was already crossed since the Middle Ages.
The town started to be officially a Bavarian domain in the
early 19th century after several years of disputes and claims generated in a
war in a period in which Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden moved under Austrian
rule.
Despite those
changes of rulers, a certain instability and including an unknown future of the
community due to those mutations, that centre was able to become an
independent municipality with its own Parish Church reaching a consolidation of considerable relevance in the most important local trade scene.
The Kingdom of Bavaria developed some years later
during the Reign of King Ludwig I in
1837 managed a geographical and political subdivision of the districts and the town was incorporated in

the same year and the consequent establishment of the Republic of Weimar

Developed on a rectangular plan, the Church lies
behind a low wall and the white colour of the walls is in total harmony with the
light grey tonality of a splendid gable roof which is subdivided in two

Many famous and popular landscape painters such as Busch,
Fearnley, Bendtz and Pippel considered in Germany among the most
representative masters in that kind of painting have reproduced Sankt Sebastian
Kirche from different perspectives.
The artistic mission of those talented characters was
for a long time mainly devoted to propose the beauty of Bavaria in a nutshell
in their works looking for to
impress the human eye in a while.
According to several opinions and declarations of prominent
artists, for position, environment, architectural style and colour combined
with the tonality of the surrounding vegetation and with the striking presence the river Ramsau Ache
flowing under it that image is unique in its kind without equals to execute artistically something of simply superb.

Its remarkable silhouette is particularly captivating
and extremely well combined with the idyllic local environment consisting in a
magnificent natural frame composed by a picturesque forest surrounding a very relaxing
and peaceful verdant space.
The relevant value of that Sacred construction apart
its beauty in terms of architecture next to magnificent landscapes is also
due to its historic and religious relevance elevated since a long time ago as a Sanctuary
particularly devoted to pilgrimages venerating that Virgin Patroness of dairy.
That small Baroque construction erected in the 18th century is classified as one of the
most charming Bavarian Rococo works erected in that corner of Southern Germany, it is pretty sober from a
frontal perspective when seen from a distance but once there facing it you will notice very interesting details, such as a very marked profile
boasting charming lines all around its layout, the outlined apse and fine exterior decorations.

Other spectacular places in the surroundings I strongly suggest to visit are two
marvellous lakes, great attractions to appreciate more and more the

It is a must once you are visiting that area or
spending unforgettable holidays an excursion to the Hintersee west of
the town and the Königsee which is not far, south of Schönau in
the heart of the Nationalpark.
Those two scenic and fabulous waters basins could be
considered real, true and right spots for a video with as background music with protagonist that famous work created for ballet and Opera in the Bolshoi Theatre of
Moscow with that magnificent and notorious melodic masterpiece performing the Swan Lake by
the master Petr Ilijc Tchaikovsky.
The idyllic scenery of those two wonders is completed
by a marvellous frame surrounding them such as an unspoiled nature, beautiful
mountains and contemplative forests packed by hiking fairytale trails.
In the case of the nearest Hintersee there is an
enchanting path crossing the forest of Zauberwald and at end of that
magnificent trail also called the Enchanted Path the setting is highlighted by
the view of that stupendous waters mirror often immortalised by romantic German
and Austrian painters.
One of them who worth a mention to reproduce in
outstanding works the image of those astonishing places was Carl Anton
Joseph Rottman considered one of the best landscape painters of
Germany all time.
That prominent artist was born in Heidelberg
but he moved to Munich where he lived for a long time, a talented painter, fervent lover of
Greek and Italian landscapes painted and immortalised several times
during its trips with including some long sojourns in those lands.
He made fantastic masterpieces painting places of notable appeal such as Korinthos, Olympia, Naples, Perugia, Taormina but once in Bavaria he fell in love with that land and that lake and also for that finding in his motherland Germany those fairytale places he decided to fix his residence in Bavaria continuing to live in his country until his death.

The Königsee is equally wonderful, much larger than the
Hintersee, fabulous and captivating in spring and summer for the green nature
surrounding it but also in winter season thanks to the presence of the magnetic
silhouette of the Watzmann covered by snow, a
majestic mountain which totally dominates that picturesque waters basin at a
very short distance of the Austrian border.
That very particular and special name "Konigsee"
is the composition in German language of König which means King
and See meaning lake forming the denomination King Lake, totally
appropriate for that stunning beauty which is probably one of the most
picturesque lakes of the entire Bavaria.
The marvellous green colour of its waters and its

kilometres long and approximately 1, 2 kilometres wide make that idyllic waters basin
simply unique to stay hours and hours in divine contemplation with furthermore an
