Holy Cross Church in Cieszyn, Baroque church in Cieszyn, Poland.

The Holy Cross Church features a single nave with three bays, incorporating Ionian pilasters and a rectangular layout ending in an apse with additional rooms.

Construction of the church began in 1709 following the conversion of a chapel from 1648, with Father Leopold Szersznik overseeing its extension during 1791-1792.

The church interior contains a Baroque main altar with bas-reliefs depicting the Crucifixion and Last Supper, along with preserved period furnishings.

Religious services take place on Sundays and holy days at 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM, while weekday masses are held at 9:00 AM.

The facade displays statues of Saint Francis of Assisi and St Joseph with Baby Jesus, placed in niches as references to Emperor Francis Joseph I.
