The Church of the Holy Cross in Bytom Miechowice was built between 1856 and 1864, at the initiative of Maria Winckler, the owner of the local estate and many industrial plants. It replaced the old church, described in the poem by Norbert Bończyk as an "old church of Miechów”. The neo-Gothic building was designed by August Soller. Inside the church, one can see, among others, a statue of Madonna, the last work of the famous Silesian sculptor Theodore Kalide.
