Calvary Hill St. Radegund

The chapels on Calvary were built in the 18th century. Before that, a farmer is said to have encountered a host of angels here at night.

very beautiful church with beautiful figures!!!

Only very rarely does one encounter such an elaborately designed Calvary as here at Sankt Radegund. The splendor of the Baroque palaces and churches of that era has been transferred this time to the fourteen Stations of the Passion of Jesus, the classic Way of the Cross, and more have been added. The name CALVARY MOUNTAIN refers to its biblical origins almost two millennia ago: According to the accounts of the evangelists, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, outside the gates of Jerusalem, took place at a place called "Golgotha" in Hebrew/Aramaic, which can be translated as "Height of the Skull" or "Place of the Skull." Via the Latin text, it eventually became known in German as Calvary.
