In its place a garrison church was built in 1717. It burned down in 1761. It was then rebuilt and became known as the Kreuzkirche (Church of the Cross). It stood next to the inner fortress gate. Cruciform in plan. No tower. Wooden groin vaults on slender Corinthian columns of wood.
Altar plate of the 17th and 18th centuries. Five brass chandeliers. A Rococo pulpit made in 1773. The organ was installed in 1794.
During the fighting the garrison church within the fortress was damaged. In the first half of the 1960s the ground floor was still standing.
Later, once the remains of the church had fallen into serious disrepair, they were demolished. An inspection in 1997 found nothing left on the site of the church.
