Church of the Elevation of Holy Cross (Kostel Povýšení Sv. Kríže), nowadays belonging the the Orthodox community in Teplice, is the oldest preserved ecclesiastic buildingn in this North Bohemian spa town. Although it received its current neo-Gothic appearance in the end of the 18th century, the original late-Gothic church had been built earlier, in 1549-1568, by the Teplice demesne owner Volf of Vresovice.
