The former Evangelical cemetery church of St. Trójcy was built in front of the former Wrocław Gate after the beginning of the Thirty Years' War with the support of Fr. Henryk Wacław Podiebrad. The walls were erected in the years 1622÷8 (according to his own design) by the duke's court bricklayer A. Walter. P Within the next 2 years, master carpenter J. Voyt made the first roof. The church was consecrated in 1631. In 1642 the roof was covered with tiles. After the town fire in 1659, it served as a substitute parish church. At the end of the 17th century (on the order of priest Krystian Ulryk) Polish pastor Tomasz Pluta preached there. 1931 refurbished. 1945 burnt.

Currently, the church is a ruin (with only the capital walls preserved) in the city park established after 1945 on the site of the cemetery. Gothic, oriented, made of brick with single-step buttresses interrupting the course of the window cornice. It was erected on the plan of an almost isosceles cross (the western arm is longer by a span) with semicircular arms. The façades are decorated with an eaves cornice made of bricks stacked upright. In ogival recesses, the window openings are much narrower than them. From the west, south and Mon. on the axes of the arms of the cross, there are ogival entrance openings (walled up) and blind windows above them. In the corner of the arms (from the NW) of the 20th-century extension (crematorium?) a high four-sided chimney has been preserved. Once covered with a wooden ceiling. The whole is covered with a multi-slope roof covered with tiles, with a turret at the intersection of ridges.
