The Holy Cross Church features a large square tower with two tall spires connected by a wooden bridge that stands against the skyline.

The construction of Holy Cross Church began in the late 12th century and reached completion in 1214, marking over 800 years of continuous presence.

The interior walls display restored paintings from different periods, including depictions of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon in Baroque style murals.
