Holy Cross Church

Holy Cross Church is a modern parish church in Detmold with clean architectural lines and geometric forms that define its contemporary design. Large windows flood the interior with natural light, creating bright and open worship spaces.

The church was designed by architect Josef Lucas following contemporary architectural principles of the post-war era. It stands as a recognized architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The church serves as a gathering place for the Catholic community where weddings, baptisms, and other religious celebrations take place throughout the year. It plays an important role in the neighborhood's daily life and identity.

Regular services are held throughout the week, so check current times before visiting to plan your trip. Access is generally open, but be mindful of any scheduled events or religious holidays that may affect opening hours.

The church broadcasts its services online through a livestream system, allowing people unable to attend in person to participate from home. This digital connection is something few churches in the area have embraced.
