A pilgrimage site with the Church of the Sorrows of the Virgin Mary, a Baroque staircase, and with two chapels founded in 1692 by Countess Tereza Eleonor of Ugarte. The staircase decorated with statues and vases is a unique Central European architectural monument.
The pilgrimage shrine is a unique stone staircase, which is a rare art-historical and architectural monument in Central Europe. It consists of 153 stone steps and 16 landings. Number of stairs and landings is symbolic; the idea was intended to pilgrims on the steps to pray the entire rosary. Degrees is as much "Hail Mary" and rest as much as the "Lord's Prayer".
