Kreuzberglkirche, Baroque church in Klagenfurt, Austria

The Kreuzberglkirche is a Baroque church on the Kreuzbergl in Klagenfurt, built from 1737 and consecrated in 1742. Its square nave is joined to a narrower, single-bay choir with a three-eighth close, and the east facade carries a pair of squat towers topped by onion domes. Inside, Josef Ferdinand Fromiller painted a fictive dome with an architectural prospect and the Veil of Christ on the barrel vault.

In 1692 Christoph Anton von Leilersperg had a large Calvary group set up on the Kreuzbergl. In 1737 the abbot of Viktring gave the Confraternity of the Body of Christ the land for a church, which was consecrated in 1742. The church is a rectorate of the city parish of St. Egid, with which it forms an urban axis.

The church is a rectory of the Stadtpfarrkirche St. Egid and forms an urban axis with it. Its three altars date from the building period around 1742; the altarpieces, including the Lamentation of Christ on the high altar, are by Josef Ferdinand Fromiller. The church also holds a painting of the Holy Face and a 1741 Gnadenstuhl.

The church stands on the Kreuzbergl hill above Klagenfurt and forms a sight axis with the city parish church of St. Egid. The east facade is framed by two squat towers topped with baroque onion domes. Inside, the small vestibule beneath the organ gallery opens into the vaulted nave; the three altars date from the church's construction period.

The church owes its painted interior to Josef Ferdinand Fromiller, who created the three altarpieces and the illusionistic dome with an architectural prospect and the Veil of Christ on the barrel vault. The stucco decoration from around 1740 is attributed to Anton Gigl. The high altar of stucco marble, with plain and twisted columns, shows the Lamentation of Christ.
