In the small town of Torzym, Poland, stands the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, a brick church designed by the celebrated Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the Classicist style. The building represents Schinkel's austere interpretation of neoclassicism, executed in locally sourced brick, a material that shapes the structure's austere dignity. Now protected as a cultural property in Poland, the church reflects the architectural ambitions of early nineteenth-century Prussia during its territorial reach into the region.
