The church of Holy Cross was constructed in the 1850s on the eastern side of the street after all the churches were closed
in the old town in the course of the construction of the Brest Fortress. This church was consecrated in 1856 and devoted to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
The church was reconstructed in the 1950s to house a museum.
In the late 1990s the building was returned to the Catholic community.
The church was reconstructed again to restore the original view.
It was reconsecrated.
In Belarus, organ music was flourishing in the 16th-17th century.
Minsk, Brest, Grodno and Nesvizh were the largest centres of organ music As a gift in 2003, this church got a nice organ from the church in
Massing, that is in Bayern.
At the south-eastern corner of the square is the official landmark called the zero
milepost of Brest, a benchmark to measure distances from the town. This milepost looked cool among the Colorado spruces on a crispy winter day.
Now new trees grow on this place.
