The Calvary of Retz shows the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus in various stations of the cross. A contract dated September 15, 1726 obliged Jakob Seer[2], who came from Eggenburg, to complete the crucifixion group, consisting of Jesus Christ, the two thieves, Saint Magdalene, Mary and John, by the beginning of Lent in 1727. It is not known who created the other groups, but they are probably also by Jakob Seer.
