Église de la Sainte-Croix
Église de la Sainte-Croix, Jesuit church in Landsberg am Lech, Germany.
The Sainte-Croix Church stands on elevated ground in the old town, featuring white walls adorned with elaborate rococo decorative elements on its facade.
Construction of the church started in 1754, replacing an earlier structure from 1584, and it served as a church for the adjacent Jesuit novitiate and college.
Interior ceiling frescoes created by brothers Christoph Thomas and Felix Anton Scheffler depict scenes dedicated to Jesuit saints and religious themes.
The church building remains open for visitors, with the former Jesuit college now housing both a retirement home and an agricultural school.
Johann Baptist Baader crafted the main altar in 1758, presenting a central crucifixion scene that dominates the interior space.
