Visit · 45 min · Haydn's tomb and an artificial hill of chapels with a view over the plain

Beneath the north tower of the Bergkirche, also called the Haydnkirche, lies the mausoleum of Joseph Haydn. He died in Vienna in 1809 and the Esterházys brought him here in 1820; the mausoleum dates from 1932, and only in 1954 could his skull, stolen after the Vienna burial, be buried with him. Attached to the church is the Kalvarienberg, from 1701–1707: a hill made of stones, climbed by stairs and dark passages with grottoes and chapels, where life-size wooden figures tell the Passion. From the top you can see the plain as far as Lake Neusiedl. Guided tours of the church, the mausoleum, the crypt and the treasury are arranged by appointment with the parish.
