Lonely Planet review for Bergkirche

The white marble tomb that now contains Haydn’s reunited parts can be viewed in the Bergkirche. This unusual church began life as a small chapel and in 1701 was transformed into a bizarre representation of Calvary, the mountain outside Jerusalem upon which Christ is thought to have been crucified. Manage all the dungeon-like rooms and you’ll quite literally be feeling the Stations of the Cross in your feet; get to the top of the ‘mountain’, though, and not a gaggle of stone-throwing sinners awaits you but a fantastic view over town.
