Kalvarienbergkirche Bad Ischl

Kalvarienbergkirche is a Baroque church building on Kalvarienberg hill in Bad Ischl, featuring nine terracotta figures on its facade arranged in three groups depicting scenes from Christ's Passion. The interior is marked by an ornate Baroque ceiling fresco from the 18th century displaying religious motifs.

Construction took place between 1704 and 1706, making this the second Calvary sanctuary in the Salzkammergut region. The site grew to include multiple chapels that marked the Way of the Cross and formed a unified religious complex.

The church takes its name from Calvary Hill, a site of Christian devotion. Inside, baroque wall paintings and religious symbols shape the space and its spiritual character.

Access is via Kalvarienbergweg with good connections to public transportation in the area. The site is open for visitors on most days and offers opportunities for quiet viewing.

Alongside the main church stand several smaller chapels marking the Way of the Cross and the Resurrection, all protected as monuments. These scattered structures invite a walk through the entire grounds, functioning like a religious learning path.
