About Holy Hill

The Basilica and National Shrine of Mary Help of Christians crowns a glacial hill about 1,350 feet above sea level, one of the highest points in southeastern Wisconsin. Discalced Carmelite friars have cared for the shrine since 1906, and its Romanesque Revival church dates from 1930. In season you can climb the scenic tower for views that reach the Milwaukee skyline, then walk the 435-acre grounds and the Stations of the Cross.
