Kirche zum Heiligen Kreuz, Lutheran church in Pakens, Wangerland, Germany.

Kirche zum Heiligen Kreuz is a single-room church in Pakens constructed from granite and brick, measuring 22 meters long and 7 meters wide. A separate bell tower containing four bells stands beside the main building, its walls decorated with granite blocks and monastery-format bricks.

The church was built at the beginning of the Late Middle Ages in Romanesque style, on the raised western end of a former sea dike. Its north and south walls and the lower parts of the east and west walls are of horizontally laid granite blocks, while the upper east gable uses monastery-format brick in a herringbone pattern. It is one of thirteen stations on the Wangerland Pilgrimage Route.

The organ was built in 1664 by Hamburg organ builder Joachim Richborn with eight stops on one manual; four registers survive in original condition. In 1897 the Oldenburg builder Schmid III added a pedal division, and Alfred Führer reworked the instrument between 1937 and 1960. The 1640s box pews with baluster rails still flank the single aisle.

The church is one of thirteen stations on the Wangerland pilgrimage route, making it a natural stopping point for those following this path. The building remains in active use for regular worship services for the local congregation.

The free-standing bell tower south of the nave is a Parallelmauerturm, two parallel walls carrying four bells. The church walls are about 1.5 metres thick: between the outer granite and the inner plastered brick lies a fill of rubble and stone chips. The upper east gable is laid in herringbone brick.
