History

On a hill from the side of ul. Świętokrzyska St. brick church was erected Cross. In 1804 a necropolis near the church of St. The cross was established by the decision of the administrator of the diocese of Gniezno, priest Franciszek Skarbek Malczewski. Dedication was made by Józefat Murzynowski, a metropolitan canon, and a preaching by the minister's preacher Fr. Wojciech Ożarowski. From Świętokrzyska Street, the Evangelical cemetery was initially located, the area of which, in 1887, the Evangelical community sold the parish of Saint. Michael. The cemetery also stretched north from the church to the shore of the lake, this fragment belonged to the parish of St. Trinity and west, which part belonged to the parish of St. Lawrence. The area of the cemetery was enlarged successively in the years 1895, 1912, 1932-1933 (the dedication of this passage was made by Bishop Antoni Laubitz). The last change took place in 1978 when, in connection with the construction of the Gniezno Convention Route, 138 graves were exhumed, which was moved to the new area on the north-east side, and in its central part a nineteenth-century monumental metal cross was placed at the corner of Rybna Street and Świętokrzyska. The church is surrounded by 52 above-ground tombs from 1865-1939, with an interesting neo-gothic and neo-baroque architecture. In 1929, the area of the parish The Trinity was handed over to the newly created parish at the monastery of the Order. Franciscan. File: St. Krzyża in Gniezno.jpg [source: Wikipedia, 3159376]
