Holy Cross Church - a Roman Catholic parish church in Brzeg, in the Opole Voivodeship. The church belongs to the deanery of the North of Brzeg;[1] Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław.[2]
The church was built between 1734 and 1739 (the towers were built in between 1854 and 1856) in the location of the destroyed in 1545 monastery of the Dominicans - for the need of Jesuits which arrived to the town in 1677 (architect J. Frisch).[3] The church has a single-aisle, with a number of side chapels and the tribunes. The ceiling stands out due to J.Kubena frescoes (1739-1745) presenting the glory of the Holy Cross,[4] the missions of the Jesuit Order and figures of saints.[5]
