History

It is situated on a hill northwest of the town. It is the place for gaining indulgence for the people of Kassa. The Jesuits built it between 1736 and 1758. It was a military storage between 1773 and 1820. In 1826 Pope Leo XII allowed full indulgence for its visitors. Most of the stations (chapels) were built in the 19th century.
