The Church in Bergkirchen Austrian Eisenstadt is located, as is clear from its name, on a high hill. Its other name is the Church of Haydn - was given to her in memory of the great composer, who lived in Eisenstadt most of his life. Since 1932, there is a mausoleum with the remains of the musician. But it is worth noting that in 1954 Haydn's head was stolen and transported to Vienna.

Bergkirchen is a relatively young Church, its construction began in 1715 and lasted almost 100 years. When the construction drawings were used Prince Paul First Esterhazy, over which he had spent a considerable part of his time, but, unfortunately, was not able to see the fruition of their dreams, as became a victim of the plague in 1713.

Exactly Paul founded his own parish family of Esterhazy and erected on the future site of Bergkirchen small chapel, which became the first element of the Calvary mountain, with a total of 10 chapels, 18 altars, many niches, stairs, caves and passages from stone and wood. The composition is meant to symbolize the suffering of Christ (the way of the cross) and attracted many pilgrims who began to call it the eighth wonder of the world. Years later the Austrian author Reinhold Schneider described this mountain in his work "Winter in Vienna".

In the South tower Bergkirchen equipped with the Treasury, which exhibited the precious exhibits, purchased by the Esterhazy family in different time periods.

Beneath the Church is the crypt is the burial place of a person close to the family of Esterhazy. Honor to rest there was rewarded with some relatives, musicians and servants, who became family almost family.
