Calvary of Retz, Religious monument in Retz, Austria.
The Calvary is a religious monument in Retz featuring stone figures depicting scenes from Christ's Passion. The complex consists of multiple stations with statues representing key moments of this narrative.
The site was built starting in 1726 when sculptor Jakob Seer received the commission for the crucifixion group. The project developed during a period of strong religious devotion in the region.
The site displays five stations from the rosary, depicting moments from Christ's suffering. Visitors can walk through these scenes in sequence and follow the religious narrative.
The monument sits on elevated ground beside the Retz windmill and is easily accessible via pathways. The stations are arranged in sequence and can be visited at a leisurely pace.
