history
The church was donated in 1585 and built in the early baroque style until 1594 as the first Lutheran church in Cieszyn. It was built as a cemetery church in the middle of a newly created plague cemetery. The church was originally built north of the city wall. In 1654 the church became Catholic. In 1865 the cemetery was closed and a park was created in its place. In 1864 a neo-Gothic tower was built.
