A late-Gothic brick parish church in Domaszczyn from the 15th-16th century, entered in the heritage register, with a Gothic sculpture of St Anne with the Virgin and Child and stained glass by Fritz Geiges.
The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross stands in Domaszczyn, a village in the Długołęka municipality, in Wrocław County. It is a late-Gothic brick church serving as the parish church of the Archdiocese of Wrocław.
The current building was built in the 15th century or between 1565 and 1585, as a successor to a wooden church dedicated to St Dorothy and St Clement, first mentioned as early as 1339. The church has a single nave and is oriented, built of brick, without plaster on its outer walls. Its founders were Hans von Dompning and his wife Katarzyna née Kotulińska.
The interior was given a baroque character in the 18th century, and was renovated in 1733 and 1859. Between 1999 and 2000 the walls were repainted and the stained glass restored. A Gothic sculpture of St Anne with the Virgin and Child from about 1520 and a baroque sculpture of the Risen Christ from the late 18th century have survived to this day. The main altar with a Crucifixion group dates from 1858, and the neo-Gothic stained glass was designed in 1896 by Fritz Geiges.
The church was entered in the heritage register under number A/1193/1574, by a decision of 19 March 1966. The building serves as an active parish church: the parish website publishes current announcements and information about services. The same village also has the Huntsman's House in Domaszczyn, and a few kilometres away the Korn Palace in Pawłowice.
