Holy Cross Church in Leszno, Lutheran church building in Leszno, Poland
The Holy Cross Church features eight pillars supporting the nave and Tuscan pilasters decorating the walls of the religious structure.
Built in 1715 under the supervision of Jan Adam Stier following Pompeo Ferrari's design, the church replaced earlier structures destroyed by fires in 1656 and 1707.
The church underwent a transition from Lutheran to Roman Catholic use in 1982, reflecting the religious changes in the region during the 20th century.
Visitors can find the church 80 kilometers south of Poznań, with its tower and cupola serving as visible landmarks in the cityscape.
The church grounds include a lapidarium containing over 100 sandstone tombs dating from the 17th to 19th centuries, relocated from former Protestant cemeteries.
