Tips

The St. Elisabeth Church was first mentioned in documents in 1262. The "Freistatt" columns next to the church are evidence of a historically prominent place of legal security in ancient times.
The strong, solidly built bell tower with its Italian dome and lantern dominates. The bright ringing of the bells can be heard far into the Eger Valley and across the border to Bohemia.

The town of Hohenberg, with its many towers and located on a high hill on the Eger River, greets visitors from afar. "A mighty fortress is our God" - this is truly true here: the defensive towers of the castle complex, which dates back to the middle of the 12th century, and the church built next to it create an impressive silhouette. The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1222 and the church in 1262.
