The Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross in Jamné in the Jihlava region is the parish church of the Jamné u Jihlavy parish. Since 1972 it has been protected as a cultural monument.
Today's building stands on the site of an older Gothic church, which was demolished after a fire. The new church was built between 1727 and 1747. However, it soon suffered another disaster. In 1760 a fire almost destroyed it and restoration lasted until 1784.
It is a single-nave structure with a tower and Baroque decoration. The recessed choir is connected to the nave. Sacristies and a depository adjoin the sides of the church, and above them are oratories on the upper floor. The eastern façade is smooth, and the side facades are divided by pilasters along the transverse axis of the nave. The windows are distinctly elongated and topped with a recessed lintel. In the western part of the nave is a music gallery. It is vaulted with panels between ribs that are supported by prismatic pillars.
The stained glass windows in the windows date from 1894. The most valuable objects, however, are much older. The baptismal font, ciborium and perpetual light come from Hynek Brtnice and his wife, dating from around the end of the sixteenth century. They are thus older than the church building itself.
