Restoration
Pavement and railing restoration
The footpaths in the Calvary area have been hit by the weather and high traffic in a number of sections to an unfavorable state, thereby reducing the safety of visitors. We gradually repair all damaged sections. Recently we focused on the most damaged part, between chapel no. 18 and Ecce Homo. It seems that with […]
Restoration of the statues of the Christ and two villains
As we are systematically preparing for the openening of the Upper Church in october 2018, we continue with the restoration of three preserved Baroque statues of crucified on Golgotha. Two of them have been restored, the statues of the villains, crucified with Jesus. The sculptures, originally a much richer altar on Golgotha, were deposited in […]
We keep on working on the Upper Church
We continue to renovate the Upper Church. The portal has been restored already last year, now we are focused on the renovation of its plastere. Working on the top floor of the scaffolding is quite a dramatic experience, especially because of the wind, which is almost constantly on calvary blowing. Under the cement plasters restorator […]
The portal of the Upper church is enriched with a cartridge
Almost 400 kg weighed replica of the original cartridge with the inscription „Jesus Meine Liebe ist GeCreutziget“ was in August 23, 2017, with the help of 3 restorers and a special lifting mechanism installed above the portal of the Upper Church. Preparations for the fixation lasted for several hours and lifting the cartridge up to […]
2016 at the Calvary was eventful
2016 was the ninth year of renovation work on Calvary. It was the year when traffic grew again – exposition was visited by over 23,000 people and total area of at least 55,000 visitors. Due to the ever increasing traffic, in 2015 we purchased the site of the former municipal forests that we have in […]
Restoration of the statue of Mary Magdalene in the chapel of The Sorrowful Heart of Virgin Mary
The statue was previously stolen, or destroyed. In 2011 and 2012, a survey was prepared and photo documentation collected; based on this substrate it was possible to create a detailed copy of the statue. The replica was constructed by Mgr. art. John Fečo in 2012-13. Today the statue is exhibited in its original location.
Statue of Christ lying in the tomb in the chapel of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Like the statue of Mary Magdalene, this statue was in the past either stolen or destroyed. Between 2010 and 2012 we undertook an extensive examination of photographic archive documents thanks to which we created a copy of the original work. The replica was created by Mrg. Art. John Fečo. Work was completed in early […]
Renovation of chapels 23 and 24
In 2012 the cement plaster layer was removed from the chapels. The portions of the walls which were most severly threatened have been reinforced by means of complex reconstruction, such as masonry moisture remediation. In 2013, we implemented a comprehensive restoration of the fine sculpted stone, exterior plaster, stairs and roofs. The photos below were […]
Electrification and illumination
Thanks to the electrification of the whole area in 2011 – 2013 we installed the second part of the Calvary’s night illumination. In addition to the previously illuminated Upper church, we installed lighting for 4 chapels and Ecce Homo. The lights were turned on during the May 2013 event „Re-opening the Calvary.“
Landscaping of the area
In 2013, we continued with terrain modification around the Lower church. In the near future we plan the planting of new linden trees, and therefore it was necessary to remove some old stumps of uprooted trees or cut trees. Grass cutting and drenage system cleaning is each year must. A large part of these […]
