The neo-Gothic Church of the Elevation of the Cross in Merkendorf was inaugurated in 1864. First as a chapel, later in 1902 it was enlarged. Through a facade room you enter the church room, a rectangular hall with a flat ceiling and four pointed arch windows. The church is dedicated to the Holy Cross. The “name day” of the church, the patron saint, is celebrated on September 14th at the Exaltation of the Cross.
