Holy Hill

Holy Hill, formally known as the Basilica and National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians, is a revered pilgrimage site located in Hubertus, Wisconsin. Situated atop one of the highest points in southeastern Wisconsin, Holy Hill offers not only a place of spiritual reflection but also stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

The history of Holy Hill dates back to the mid-19th century when it became a site for religious pilgrimage. The current basilica, completed in 1931, is a magnificent example of neo-Romanesque architecture. It features twin spires that rise majestically above the treetops, making it a striking landmark visible from miles around. The interior of the basilica is equally impressive, adorned with beautiful stained glass windows, intricate mosaics, and religious artwork that enhance the spiritual ambiance.

Visitors to Holy Hill can participate in various religious services, including daily Mass, confession, and special liturgical celebrations. The site also offers a peaceful environment for personal prayer and meditation. For those interested in the history and natural beauty of the area, the scenic tower provides a climb to an observation deck with breathtaking views, especially vibrant during the fall foliage season.

In addition to its religious significance, Holy Hill features a visitor center, a gift shop, and well-maintained walking trails that allow guests to explore the serene natural surroundings. Open year-round, Holy Hill welcomes pilgrims and tourists alike, offering a place of solace, beauty, and inspiration for all who visit.
