The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Tachov is located on a hill not far from the former town fortifications, a few blocks from the town square. Construction began during the reign of Charles IV. During its long existence, the church was frequently damaged by fire. It has been repeatedly reconstructed and rebuilt in 1908 as part of the regothicization. The church has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary characterizes the cityscape of Tachov.
