Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church ( Polish: Kościół Podwyższenia Krzyża Świętego) is an originally Lutheran, now Roman Catholic church in Jelenia Góra, Poland. It is one of the Grace Church[ disambiguation needed]es ( German: Gnadenkirchen), built in Silesia after the intervention of Swedish king Charles XII, who forced Austrian Emperor Joseph I to provide right for Protestants. [1]
The construction of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church was begun in 1709 and completed in 1718. [1] It was designed by Martin Frantz on a Greek-cross plan, modelled after the Katarina Church in Stockholm. [1] In 1806 the fire destroyed the stairwell and the cupola of the church, [1] which were reconstructed in the years 1810–1811. The Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church was Lutheran up to 1947, later it became Catholic. [1]
