Opole - Katedra Podwyższenia Krzyża
The history of Opole dates back to the 8th and 9th centuries. The territory is politically disputed. Around 990 Silesia, together with the territory of Opole, was annexed by Mieszko I to the Polish state. In 1039 Břetislav I reconquered the territory for eleven years, after which Opole reverted to Bohemia. In 1050, Casimir I reconquered Silesia. It became a Polish duchy in 1172 and received city rights from Duke Casimir I of Opole in 1217.
Opole was a center of trade. Several trade routes crossed here, which helped to make profits from transit trade.
After the death of King Ludvík II Silesia was inherited by Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, placing Opole under the sovereignty of the Habsburg monarchy of Austria. The Habsburgs took control of the region in 1532 but pawned the duchy to different rulers including several monarchs of Poland. In 1615, a fire destroyed all the houses within the city walls.
After the Swedish invasion of Poland, in 1655 John II Casimir Vasa stayed with his court here. In November of that year, the "Uniwersał opolski" was issued here by the King, calling for Poles to rise against the Swedes.
After 1668 the region passed again to the control of the Habsburgs. Frederick II of Prussia conquered most of Silesia from Austria in 1740 during the Silesian Wars. Under Prussian rule, the ethnic structure of the city began to change and a kind of "Germanization" set in. Nevertheless, Opole remained an important cultural, social and political center for the Poles in Upper Silesia. In the course of German unification in 1871 Opole became part of the German Empire.
After WWI, a referendum was held with the result that Silesia remained part of the German Reich. After the end of WWII in 1945, Oppeln was transferred from Germany to Poland and the name changed from Oppeln to Opole.
According to tradition, the first wooden church was built on this site as early as 1002. In 1024 the Bishop of Wroclaw donated to the church a relic of the Holy Cross, which he is said to have received from St. Emmerich, the son of the King of Hungary.
Between 1254 and 1295 a new large stone church was built. In 1415, lightning struck the nave and destroyed the entire church by fire. Only a small part of the relic of the Holy Cross was preserved. Due to lack of money, the reconstruction took more than 100 years. During the reconstruction works, the church was again destroyed by fire. It was not until 1520 that the new building was completed. The cathedral is a three-nave hall church in the Gothic style and has been preserved in large parts although it had become a ruin after the 30-year war.
