After a pleasant walk along the riverbank, you will find Calvary on a rocky hill.

When the Sacred Heart Church in Graz was planned around 1880, the then Prince-Bishop Johann Baptist Zwerger initially envisioned a church modeled after the Votive Church in Vienna, one of the world's most important Neo-Gothic religious buildings. For reasons of cost, a Neo-Gothic brick building was ultimately chosen, and the design was entrusted to Georg von Hauberrisser, a native of Graz. He had already made a name for himself as the architect of Munich's City Hall. In keeping with the Romanticism that influenced all cultural developments at the time, the Sacred Heart Church was built in the Neo-Gothic style. This means that the architecture and formal language of the Middle Ages were consciously revived and further enhanced. This resulted in the delicately designed turrets, the elaborate tracery window above the entrance portal, and the numerous pointed arches. The monumental appearance was created by the construction of two stories: a lower church upon which an upper church was built. The imposing southwest tower, with its spire reaching far into the sky, is, at 109.6 meters, the third tallest church tower in Austria, after those of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna and the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Linz. Inside the so-called "Way Church," where everything is oriented towards the baldachin high altar, one is greeted by a light-filled hall framed by artfully designed pillars and an impressive net-vaulted ceiling. The white exterior and the stained-glass windows lend the church an even more welcoming atmosphere. The stained-glass windows are among the few remaining examples of Neo-Gothic glass art in Austria. The iconographic program of the frescoes and the ten side altars is dedicated to the Redeemer and his open heart for humanity. During the winter months, the upper church is closed from the beginning of November until just before Easter, and only the lower church is open.

At the top of the mountain you have a great panoramic view of the city, ideally sitting on the wall with a drink. It is also a great place in the evening to enjoy the city lights.
