Calvary in Bergkirche in Eisenstadt

The Calvary features fourteen stations depicting events leading to crucifixion, with detailed religious artworks along a marked path within Bergkirche complex.

The Bergkirche complex, completed in the early 1800s, became integral to religious practices in Eisenstadt and contains the white marble tomb of composer Joseph Haydn.

This protected heritage monument combines religious significance with architectural elements, representing an essential part of Austrian religious traditions.

Visitors can explore the Calvary and Bergkirche daily between 9:00 and 12:00, then 13:00 to 17:00, with specific fees for accessing Haydn's tomb area.

The church maintained Joseph Haydn's headless remains until 1954 when his skull, separated for 145 years after death, returned for final reunification.
