For which cause

I've seen this phrase quite a few times. It goes something like this: The park was full, for which cause/for which reason, they went to another place.

Is 'for which cause' or 'for which reason' used in place of 'because of which'?

Yes, roughly. The structure of the sentence is going to vary somewhat, I suppose. The 'cause/reason' form you present is more formal and generally more awkward.
