St. Salvator Schwäbisch Gmünd
St. Salvator Schwäbisch Gmünd, Rock church complex on Nepperberg hill in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
The St. Salvator consists of two chapels carved into rock formations, connected by a Way of the Cross with several stone stations.
In 1617, church master Caspar Vogt transformed existing caves into upper and lower chapels, which received consecration for their altars in 1618.
The site functions as a pilgrimage destination where monthly masses and special Lenten services take place in the Holy Cross community.
Two bells reside in the tower: the Dolorosa bell from 1955 and a historical bell cast by Joseph and Nikolaus Arnoldt in 1780.
The complex features life-size stone figures along its path, depicting the suffering of Christ through detailed sculptural representations.
