Church of former Dominican monastery
german_eagle Says: St. Vitus, the church of the former Dominican monastery, is located a few steps west from the main parish church St. Nicholas. It was built 1674 - 88. No steeple as usual for Dominican churches. The buildings of the former monastery were turned into an administrative and...

german_eagle Says: Right behind Stöckl, on the northern side of the Market square, is the townhouse of the former Mayor Pachelbel from the 17th century where Albrecht von Waldstein (Wallenstein) was murdered on 25th February 1634 upon order by Hapsburg Emperor Ferdinand.Nowadays the house is...
german_eagle Says: The picturesque complex of 11 medieval, small townhouses in the lower (northern) part of the Market square is called "Stöckl" (Spalicek in Czech). These townhouses form two small blocks between them running a 1.6 m wide dark alley.Wooden shanties were first mentioned at this...
german_eagle Says: The Market square - nowadays named after a Bohemian King "Namesti krale Jiriho z Podebrad" - is the showpiece of the town. The townhouses on the square are mostly restored (at least the facades) and with its non-regular ground plan and slight descent to the North it makes a...

There are several restaurants...
goingplaces Says: There are several restaurants inside the fleamarkets, and they all serve pretty decent food. Although the fleamarkets are run by people from Vietnam, the restaurants are all Czech. I read once that people in the Czech Republic eat more meat than people in any other European...

Be careful when taking photos!

globetrott Says: One more picture of a great balcony that I saw close to the theatre of Cheb / Eger.When you click on my picture, you may see the great sculptured ornaments around the windows and under the roof.Even the fence of the balcony looks great.
globetrott Says: This is Spalizek / Stöckl from the backside, and you may see that it really consists of different merchant-houses, built in the 12th century .One of them is a nice cafe with a garden - a great place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and maybe an "Egerlaender" ( a kind of...
