Church of the Holy Cross, Middlezoy

Church of the Holy Cross is a religious building from the 1300s featuring a three-stage west tower built in 1483 that holds six bells and has pierced parapets at its top. The interior keeps its medieval layout while the tower serves as a landmark for the village.

The building was first dedicated to Saint Lawrence, then to Saint Mary, and received its current name in 1754. It served for centuries as a chapel of Sowy parish before becoming independent.

The space hosts community exhibitions that showcase the village's social history through objects and crafts from daily life. Visitors can see how people lived and worked in the area over time.

The main areas have level access and facilities for people with mobility needs are available. Free street parking is possible during daylight hours for visitors.

The churchyard is managed using ecological methods to increase plant variety. This approach creates habitats for insects and birds that benefit from the flowering plants.
