Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church, currently a Roman Catholic church, in Jelenia Góra, Poland, was one of the Grace Churches built in Silesia after the intervention of Swedish King Charles XII, who forced Austrian Emperor Joseph I to ensure the rights of the Protestant population.

The construction of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross Church began in 1709 and was completed in 1718. It was designed by Martin Frantz on a Greek-cross plan, modeled after the Katarina Church in Stockholm. In 1806 fire destroyed the stairwell and the cupola of the church. It was reconstructed between 1810–1811.
