AB  - The new Stations of the Cross was the only implementation of Jurkovič's grandiose architectural and urban concept of the entire pilgrimage area on the top of Mount Hostýn in 1903; however, it did not completely adhere to Jurkovič's design and it was not supervised by him. This study summarises a number of yet unpublished facts that occurred during the construction and that were discovered during the expert supervision of the restoration of Köhler's mosaic paintings installed on this Station of the Cross which began in 2009 and is still in progress. Although only a fragment remained of Jurkovič's idea, it is an exceptional undertaking that is beyond any structures of this kind which have been built in the Czech lands.
