When you enter the church you are very impressed by the baroque furnishings. A very nice place if you want to get married in church. The view all the way to Cologne is simply fantastic. The steep path to the Kreuzbergkirche is worth it.

A special baroque gem can be found on the Kreuzberg high above Bonn. The church there was built by Cologne Archbishop Ferdinand in place of an older chapel in 1627/28. It was magnificently expanded a good hundred years later (from 1746) by his successor Clemens August, who also commissioned the baroque palaces Falkenlust and Augustusburg in Brühl. The church received a baroque design with ceiling paintings by Adam Schöpf, Francois Rousseau and Norbert Seifried as well as a new organ in the rear gallery. Particularly noteworthy is the extension ("House of Pilatus") by the great builder Balthasar Neumann with the Holy Staircase. In its rich design, this building shows the arrest, condemnation and crucifixion of Jesus. The stairs serve as a place of reflection and contemplation for believers, as they can only be climbed while kneeling and praying. The entire complex served as the seat of the Servite mendicant order for a long time and had an eventful history after secularization in French times. Today there is a church educational institution there and guided tours are offered on certain dates.

Unique baroque church on top of a hill from which you have a nice view on the Bonn-Köln area. Worth the walk from the Poppelsdorfer Castle. Go back through the Poppelsdorfer Friedhof with a lot of historic graves.

A Beautiful Place! The interior of the church is beautiful. Gorgeous paintings, magnificent organ, awesome acoustics, and preserved history. During advent and Christmas they offered concerts. Absolutely beautiful! The attachment to the Church containing "the Stairs" is what makes this place so special. Only open twice a year I was sad not to be there at that time. What a gift and grace to be able to go up these stairs. I hope you have the chance!!! Go visit!

Wunderschöne Kirche. Steiler Weg von Poppelsdorf am Friedhof vorbei

The church from the 18th century was built in the Rococo style. It was created as a result of the expansion of a baroque chapel. This one can be viewed from behind bars, but it's still worth it. Beautiful frescoes and, above all, stairs, called holy, which apparently can only be navigated while kneeling or in a prayer position. The church itself is also very nice with historic furnishings. To see it, you have to climb a bit - the steep climb is about 800 meters. From behind the church you can admire the beautiful panorama of Bonn.

A Holy place of intercultural engagement

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately you couldn't get in at the time we were there. I took the photos through the gate. It was worth it anyway. The area invites you to go for walks and it is a very close excursion destination. (Original) Leider konnte man zu dem Zeitpunkt wo wir da waren nicht hinein. Die Fotos habe ich durch das Gittertor fotografiert. Hat sich trotzdem gelohnt. Die Umgebung läd zu Spaziergängen ein und es ist ein sehr stadtnahes Ausflugsziel.

(Translated by Google) Nice place. Great view (Original) Schöner Ort. Tolle Aussicht

👍👍

The scenery is just awesome! Well structured and isolated from noise... A walking distance to the supermarket downtown... Fantastic!

Steep pilgrimage route from the Poppelsdorf cemetery to the Kreuzbergkirche. When the weather is good you can look at Cologne Cathedral from the viewing platform. There are also free parking spaces at the top of the Kreuzbergkirche. Very magnificent church. Beautiful forest environment. Recommended for silence or meditation.

Located at the top of the hill. From up there you will see Bonn and Köln. Beautiful trees around and there's a sit to just rest up. It's beautiful from up there.

Schöner, ruhiger und besinnlicher Ort, wo man auch in der Umgebung gemütlich spazieren gehen kann.

Ein sehr prachtvolles Gebäude, sehr groß. Die umliegende Aussicht ist sehr schön. Im die weihnachtlichen Feiertage herum war die Kirche allerdings ziemlich stark mit Weihrauch verräuchert. Sehr neblige Luft - sicher nicht gesund für unsere Lungen!

(Translated by Google) It is believed that the holy steps on Kreuzberg are an exact copy of the Roman "Rock of Santa", along which Jesus climbed to Pontius Pilate. The actual figures of Jesus and Pilate can be seen on the balcony of the church. The church is not made in the traditional Gothic style and attracts with its light. From the sites located next to the church, you can see not only Bonn, but also the towers of Cologne. (Original) Считается, что святые ступени на Кройцберге - точная копия римской "Скала Санта", по которой Иисус поднимался к Понтию Пилату. Собственно фигуры Иисуса и Пилата можно увидеть на балконе церкви. Церковь выполнена не в традиционном готическом стиле и привлекает своим светом. С площадок, расположенных рядом с церковью, можно увидеть не только Бонн, но и башни Кёльна.

(Translated by Google) An architectural baroque jewel! Santa Scala is indescribably gorgeous! Exceptional church for wedding! Place of pilgrimage on the Kreuzberg in the middle of the forest with a breathtaking view over Bonn to the Cologne Cathedral. Lots of walking paths and Kreuzberg Allee full of walnut trees. Heavenly mood especially at sunset. (Original) Ein architektonisches Barock Juwel! Santa Scala ist unbeschreiblich herrlich! Außergewöhnliche Kirche für Hochzeit! Wallfahrtsort auf dem Kreuzberg Mitte im Wald mit atemberaubender Aussicht über Bonn bis zum Kölner Dom. Viele Spaziergangswege und Kreuzberg Allee voller Wallnussbäumen. Himmlische Stimmung besonders beim Sonnenuntergang.
