On the church square (Kostelní náměstí) in Cheb (Eger) is the Catholic parish church of St. Nicholas - the oldest church in Eger. The church was built at the beginning of the 13th century as a Romanesque basilica. Soon after, however, it burned out and the subsequent repair was already in the Gothic style.

The last architectural changes in 2008 gave the church its original, high towers, which were destroyed in the bombing raids at the end of World War II.
