Calvary of Retz, Religious monument in Retz, Austria.

The Calvary complex features stone statues depicting the Passion of Christ, with a central crucifixion scene accompanied by figures of Mary, John, and Mary Magdalene.

In 1726, Jakob Seer from Eggenburg received a contract to complete the crucifixion group, which became part of this religious site near the Retz windmill.

The five stations follow the mysteries of the painful rosary, including scenes of the Oil Mount, Flagellation, Crown of Thorns, and the Fall of the Cross.

The monument stands on an elevated position adjacent to the Retz windmill, with designated pathways leading visitors through each station of the religious complex.

The Holy Sepulchre inside St. Stephen's Parish Church contains figures made of sandstone covered with imitation ivory, set against dark walls with bright stucco works.
