The parish church of the Holy Cross is the evangelical church of Wiesenbronn. The name Church of the Holy Cross commemorates the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross on September 14th. This date commemorated the dedication of the basilica built by Constantine the Great over the cross of Jesus found in Jerusalem.
The Renaissance altar was donated by Anna and Johannes Büttner, a lawyer for the Margrave of Ansbach. Two bronze commemorative slabs under the gallery on the south side on the right probably replaced stone grave slabs after a floor renovation in the choir room.
The frescoes were only discovered and uncovered in 1972. They show that the chancel and nave were built at the same time. The four evangelists adorn the sanctuary and above the entrance to the sacristy the baptism of Jesus with the Latin inscription: ECCE AGNUS DEI QUI TOLLIT PECCATA MUNDI. Next to it are the four evangelists. On the walls of the southern and western gallery, the 12 apostles look down on the congregation. Above each is a word from the creed according to the Württemberg church order introduced in the county of Castell. Only the opening sentence of St. Peter has survived. St. Andreas next to him is also hidden by the organ. This is followed by St. James Major, St. John, St. Thomas, St. James Minor, only the confessional sentence of St. Philip, St. Matthew, St. Bartholomew is missing due to the staircase, St. Simon, St. Jude and St. Matthew. On the pulpit side, on the north wall, fragments of the Last Judgment from the Book of Revelation can be seen and Christ as Savior of the world.
The baptismal font and pulpit date from the time of construction
The Swallow's Nest pulpit is missing one side of the hex. This can be seen clearly, since passages of text from the banner are missing at the top and bottom of the pulpit basket. You would be at the field replaced by the door. The carved figures were added later. Originally the round arches contained pictures. The painted apostle Peter can be seen behind Jesus and John, and the apostle Paul behind Mark.
