Church of the Holy Cross
Wayside shrine in Kreuzholzhausen

It is possible that there was a church in Kreuzholzhausen over 1240 years ago. With a deed of donation dated April 28, 770, the church of St. Michael in Holzhusir (Holzhausen) was given to the diocese of Freising . Unfortunately, one does not know whether it is Kreuzholzhausen or Westerholzhausen.

In any case, the parish of Kreuzholzhausen was mentioned for the first time in 1315 in the Konradin register under the name "Holtzhausen". The church mentioned in this register is said to have been built in 1288.

Shortly after the Thirty Years' War, in which the town of Kreuzholzhausen and its church suffered badly, the church received its present-day appearance. At that time, in 1662/65, the church was rebuilt and extended (250 seats). During these renovations, the Gothic saddle tower was also raised. There are three bells in it today. The oldest was cast in 1665; So it still dates from the time of the major renovation. In 1723 the pilgrimage had created such a large financial basis that a new church roof could be put on and the church redecorated in the baroque style.

The main buildings are:

  • Catholic parish and pilgrimage church Heilig Kreuz
  • Rectory
