Klosterkirche Heilig-Kreuz

The Klosterkirche Heilig-Kreuz features a rectangular nave with fourteen tall narrow windows leading to a three-sided vaulted apse in its architecture.

Founded in 1233 through a land donation by Bishop Siegfried of Regensburg, the church became part of the oldest Dominican women's monastery in Germany.

The church interior displays a combination of Romanesque elements and Rococo design, including a main altar with a Romanesque crucifix representing salvation.

Located in the northwestern section of Old Town near the Dominican Church of St. Blasius, the building underwent restoration between 1980 and 1983.

The church stands on the site of a former stone quarry that supplied materials for Regensburg's defensive walls during the 10th century.
