The Calvary Chapel stands on the small hill next to the Roses’ Square, signalling to the passers-by that it tells stories about Zalaergerszeg’s past. The chapel had already stood in 1751, it was built by the Tailors’ Guild and named after Saint Helena. It is surrounded by the city’s ancient cemetery with one of the oldest grave signs belonging to the sandstone tomb of János Gothard bootmaker, the former caretaker of the Trinity Statue at Mindszenty Square. If you decide to visit, you can find reliefs made in the 1930s on the inner side of the fence wall, which show the calvary of Jesus.
