Kostel Panny Marie Sedmibolestné a Povýšení svatého Kříže na Cvilíně

Kostel Panny Marie Sedmibolestné a Povýšení svatého Kříže na Cvilíně, Baroque church in Krnov, Czech Republic

The Church of the Seven Sorrows of Mary and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a Baroque pilgrimage church on the Přední Cvilínský kopec hill southeast of Krnov. Andreas and Georg Friedrich Gans built it in 1722–1728; a 222-step stairway, added in the 1870s through chaplain Edmund Friedl, climbs to it.

A wooden chapel built in 1684 by P. Čepán, successor of Cornelius Ottweiler, stood here first, holding Marian paintings by Heinrich Täuber. Growing pilgrim numbers led to the stone church built in 1722–1728 by Andreas and Georg Friedrich Gans. In 1786 four Krnov citizens bought it for 406 gulden, saving it from Joseph II's demolition order.

Pilgrimages run several times a year from late April to early November, with the main one on the Sunday nearest 15 September, the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Sunday Mass is at 10:00. The pilgrimage site was declared a national cultural monument in 2018.

A staircase of 222 steps, built in the 1870s through the efforts of chaplain Edmund Friedl, leads up to the church. Pilgrimages are held several times a year from late April to early November, with the main one on the Sunday nearest 15 September.

The four Krnov burghers A. Philieb, H. Schmidt, C. Quesker and M. Weiss bought the church for 406 gulden in 1786 after Joseph II ordered its demolition. Because the imperial decree barred the Minorites from running it, it passed to the town and was served by diocesan priests.
