Geheimnissäulen auf dem Weg nach Maria Plain, Religious architectural ensemble in Bergheim, Austria.
The Geheimnissäulen consists of 16 stone columns stretching along a 4-kilometer pilgrimage path from Salzburg to the Plainberg mountain in Bergheim.
In 1705, an anonymous donor commissioned these columns following the Austrian victory at the Battle of Höchstädt during the War of Spanish Succession.
Each of the first 15 columns contains oil paintings depicting the mysteries of the rosary, while the final column presents the foundation history.
The stone columns, constructed from conglomerate rock, feature tabernacle-like boxes that protect the metal plates containing the religious paintings.
Between columns V and VI stands the Maria Trost zu Plain shrine from 1594, adding an older element to this religious pathway.
