The pilgrimage church on the top of the hill high above Linz and the Danube river has been a pilgrimage place to the Mater Dolorosa. The baroque church has become a dominant monument on the skyline of Linz.
"Mary suffers with those who are in affliction, with them she hopes, and she is their comfort, supporting them with her maternal help.”
- Benedict XVI
