Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, Romanesque church in Hildesheim, Germany.
The Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche features a three-nave structure with pillar arcades dividing the central nave from two narrow side aisles, incorporating elements of medieval architecture.
Originally constructed as a gate complex during Bishop Altfrid's era to protect the cathedral area, Bishop Hezilo transformed the structure into a church and established a monastery.
The church contains a 15th-century Marian winged altar, a baptismal font from 1592, and wooden carvings from different periods, representing religious artistry through centuries.
Located at Kreuzstrasse 5, just several hundred meters east of Hildesheim Cathedral, the church stands at 88 meters above sea level.
The western entrance, constructed in 1712, displays Italian architectural style with sandstone statues of apostles Peter and Paul flanking the portal.
