!!!Kalvarienberg

Calvary, a place of Catholic devotion on a hill or mountain with 14 
Way of the Cross stations, often also with a chapel or a pilgrimage 
church. The first calvaries developed shortly after the Crusades. Most 
of them date back to the Baroque age and many have been built on 
artificially erected hills like the calvaries in Maria Lanzendorf, 
Eisenstadt, Frauenkirchen and Graz.
