Holy Cross Church, Gothic Revival church in Keyenberg, Germany.

The church exhibits Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a prominent southwestern tower incorporating traditional design elements.

After the first mention of a church in Keyenberg in 893, multiple reconstructions occurred, leading to the current structure built between 1912 and 1913.

The interior preserves neo-Gothic elements including a high altar, decorated pulpit, Stations of the Cross, and a 15th-century Anna-Selbdritt statue group.

The church ceased religious services on November 28, 2021, and faces demolition due to the expansion of the Garzweiler opencast mine.

Three bells reside in the tower, including the Maria bell from 1455, making it one of the oldest functioning bells in the region.
