The Roman Catholic exaltation of the cross Church is one of the main attractions of the city. It is located near the city center, on Beethoven street, building 2.

In 1818 one of the walls appeared first Church watch, which later were replaced several times with new ones. In addition, the side tower decorated with a sundial.

The first large-scale renovation, which changed the appearance of the Church, held in 1910. In this way the Church came to our times. To preserve the unique interior and the interior of the 19th century failed due to the fact that in Soviet times the Church was still operating.
