Kapuzinerberg

Kapuzinerberg is a hill on the eastern bank of the Salzach river in the city of Salzburg in Austria, which rises to an elevation of 640 metres (2,100 ft).

Earliest human settlements on the eastern slope of Kapuzinerberg date back to neolithic period.

[citation needed] On the way of the Linzergasse to the monastery are standing 13 oratories with the way of the cross, which were built up between 1736 and 1744, a memorial place for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the old Paschinger Schlössl, known as the former house of Stefan Zweig.

[citation needed] The cloister was established by bishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau as a stronghold against the Reformation.

The Kapuzinerberg is attainable from the Imbergstiege, from a stone lane beginning in the Franziskuspforte (Linzergasse) or on a footpath behind the Imberg shopping centre in the Fürbergstrasse.
