Exaltation of the Holy Cross church in Koło

The church features a three-aisle nave with a buttressed chancel, constructed using bricks arranged in a Flemish bond pattern with decorative pinnacles.

Originally dedicated to St. Dorothy, the church began construction between the 14th and 15th centuries, receiving its consecration in 1409 with only the chancel completed.

The church contains a preserved stone gravestone of Jan from Garbowo from 1454 and a sandstone late Gothic sacramentary from the mid-16th century.

The church stands southwest of the market square on an island bordered by the Warta River, offering visitors access to view its architectural details.

The building underwent multiple construction phases, with the chancel functioning as an independent structure before the addition of the main nave.
