Kreuzberg-Church Schwandorf, Catholic pilgrimage cathedral in Schwandorf, Germany
The Kreuzberg Church stands on the Hill of the Cross, featuring modern architectural elements integrated with preserved historical components from its original structure.
Built between 1678 and 1680 as a chapel, the structure underwent multiple expansions in 1697 and 1784 to accommodate increasing numbers of pilgrims.
The church houses a significant replica of the Mariahilf image by Lucas Cranach the Elder, which survived the 1945 bombing destruction.
Located at Kreuzberg 2 in Schwandorf, the cathedral serves both as a parish church and as the primary religious center for the adjacent Carmelite convent.
Following extensive damage in World War II, the church reconstruction from 1949 to 1952 transformed it from Baroque style to contemporary architecture.
