Exaltation of the Holy Cross church in Františkovy Lázně
Exaltation of the Holy Cross church in Františkovy Lázně, Roman Catholic church in Františkovy Lázně, Czech Republic.
The Exaltation of the Holy Cross church is a religious building and cultural monument in the spa town of Františkovy Lázně. The structure displays neoclassical features with large columns framing the front and colored glass windows that flood the interior with light from above.
Emperor Franz I of Austria commissioned this Empire-style church starting in 1815 to serve the expanding population of the developing spa resort. Its completion in 1820 represented a key moment in the town's growth during that era.
The church serves as a spiritual center for the local community and reflects the religious heritage of this spa town. Visitors can sense how the building remains woven into the daily life and traditions of those who live here.
The building sits on Ruská street in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know that regular services take place here, so checking ahead for times helps you plan a visit around active worship.
The church tower holds bells that date back to the 15th century and still retain their original craftsmanship. These ancient bells remain a tangible link to earlier generations and continue to ring for special occasions.
