The beautiful, quiet way of the cross ends in the lively, but no less beautiful monastery.

The Baroque Way of the Cross

Already around 1650 there were 3 crosses on the small plateau above Gaadener Straße, in memory of the Calvary in Jerusalem. In 1670 some Viennese citizens built a chapel in honor of the crucified on this square, the so-called Bergl or Schneiderbergl, and in 1671 Abbot Klemens Schäffer had a hermit house built next to it.

When the Turkish invaded in 1683, the so-called “Berglkapelle” was destroyed, but was rebuilt two years later with donations from Viennese citizens. In 1728 the "Kirchl on the Schneiderbergl" was repaired by the master carpenter Aegidius Bauer from Heiligenkreuz, and a stairway to the mountain is also mentioned.

The magnificent Baroque Way of the Cross with the 13 station chapels and the main chapel of the 12th station was built between 1731 and 1748.

Giovanni Giuliani's Baroque Way of the Cross at Heiligenkreuz, with its numerous chapels and statues of saints, forms a magnificent ensemble.

Here, piety and art once again form a wonderful union.
