Stairway To Heaven - Calvary, Magyarpolany
Built around 1780 this late Baroque Calvary was renovated in 1855. The internationally famed The Paasion of Polány is organised here annually.
Standing in the five pyramid-roofed Stations, life-size painted wooden statues represent the five sorrowful mysteries of the rosary. 153 steps lead up the Calvary. The stone sculpture of the Grieving Virgin erected in 1901 stands at the start where the cross erected from the donations of 107 Polányi residents and thus known as the 'American cross' can also be seen.
Having made the journey up Calvary Hill the visitor reaches the chapel of the Grieving Virgin built in a neo-Gothic style in 1910. However, the view which opens before the eyes is even more spectacular: look out over the village, the surrounding hills and the Bakony landscape.
