Pöllau Kalvarienberg Church of the Sacred Heart
PöllauAlong the way of the cross from Pöllau to the pilgrimage church atop Pöllauberg stands the Church of the Sacred Heart.
The church was built in 1699 and expanded to its present-day size in 1750 by the master builder Remigius Horner from Pöllau. In 1776 Johann Adam von Mölck decorated the interior of the church with ceiling frescoes. The high altar, which stems from the time of construction, shows the devotion of the church, the heart of Jesus Christ on the cross. A pieta of a pained Mother Mary points towards the station of the cross behind the church.
The oldest parts are the crucifixion group and the figure of a repentant Peter from 1706. In 1715 the chapel of the Sacred Heart of Mary was added. It was built by Remigius Horner. Matthias von Görz created the rosary pictures in which the theme of the Church of the Sacred Heart is continued, so to
speak, from the Son of God to the Mother of God. In 1774 the Stations of the Cross were built. The current frescoes were painted by Felix Barazutti in 1919.
