Dresden's first church, the Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas Church) was built in 1215. The church was reconsecrated in 1388 as the Kreuzkirche (Church of the Holy Cross).
Kreuzkirche has a history of being destroyed and rebuilt. Disaster struck again in February 1945 when the church was one of the many buildings that were damaged by fire bombardments. Reconstruction of the exterior started soon after the war, in 1946, and was completed in 1955. The interior does have excellent acoustics. The church's famous Kreuzchoir performs here regularly.
