Hiking

The small Elisabeth Church is located on the edge of the old town of Vacha.
Unfortunately we found it locked.

The Catholic Church of Saint Elisabeth in Vacha was consecrated in 1907. It is dedicated to the Landgravine Elisabeth of Thuringia (1207-1231). Some miracles probably happened at her grave in Marburg, which is why she was canonized.

Hiking

On August 14, 1906, the foundation stone for the hall church with its retracted choir was laid, and it was consecrated as St. Elizabeth on April 14, 1907. The bell tower houses three bells (Elisabeth, Boniface, and Mary). The church has been listed as a historical monument in Thuringia since 2006.
Unfortunately, the church was closed during my visit.
