Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Łódź

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross features three naves, two chapels, and a prominent tower on the pediment with eastern and western porches.

Architect Franciszek Tournelle designed this brick church, which was consecrated in 1888 by Archbishop Wincenty Teofil Chościak Popiel after twenty years of construction.

The main altar, funded by industrialist Karol Scheibler, displays wooden marbled craftsmanship with statues of the Virgin Mary, Saint John, Saint Peter, and Saint Paul.

The church maintains its status as an immovable monument under cultural heritage protection, with register numbers A/114 from 1971 and A/298 from 2021.

During World War II, the structure remained intact as it exclusively served German Catholic congregants, while other religious buildings faced destruction.
