Church on a hill in Góra Kalwaria, Catholic church in Góra Kalwaria, Poland.

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross sits elevated on a hill, constructed from brick with architectural features typical of traditional Polish church buildings. The structure displays design elements rooted in the building traditions of its region.

Bishop Stefan Wierzbowski ordered a chapel called Kaplica Piłata built in 1668 on an artificially raised hill. It was consecrated in 1679 by Stanisław Witwicki, bishop of Poznań, and rebuilt in Baroque style at the end of the 18th century by Remigiusz Zambrzycki, suffragan of Kiev. In 1791 Wierzbowski's remains were placed in the crypt; in 1879 the enlarged church became a parish church under the name Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and it was rebuilt and reopened in 1989.

This building hosts regular Catholic services and celebrations that shape the spiritual life of the town throughout the year. The religious gatherings here connect people across different generations and mark important moments in their calendar.

The building is located in an easily accessible spot and is open daily to both visitors and worshippers with parking areas nearby. The hilltop location makes it easy to find and reach from different parts of the town.

The hill under the church was raised artificially for the construction of the Kaplica Piłata in 1668, ordered by Bishop Stefan Wierzbowski. The church is still called \"Na Górce\" (On the Hill) because of this made-made elevation.
