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; Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Wrocław.
History and architecture
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). The church has a single-aisle, with a number of side chapels and the tribunes. The ceiling stands out due to frescoes of Silesian painter Johann Kuben (1739-1745), presenting the glory of the Holy Cross (in the centre),, surrounded by eight scenes of missions of the Jesuit Order and their saints.
