The church of Saint Nicholas and Saint Elizabeth is a Gothic building rising above the buildings of the city of Cheb. It is a three-nave hall temple with two towers standing at the presbytery. The lower part of the facade with the entrance portal is built in the Romanesque style. Inside you can see the remains of medieval frescoes.
The church was built in 1258. Soon after, a fire destroyed it. Only part of the walls survived from the original Romanesque building. The reconstruction took place already in the Gothic style and in this form the church has survived to this day. In 1945, the towers were destroyed during Soviet shelling. They were rebuilt and covered with crowns referring to the original, Gothic ones only in 2008.
The church of Saint Nicholas and Saint Elizabeth is a three-nave hall building with a narrower closed polygon presbytery. Inside, there is a Romanesque portal, in which, among others, the heads of temple builders carved in stone are placed. Fragments of medieval frescoes can be seen on the pillars supporting the cross-rib vault. Gothic windows have been preserved in some of the windows.
