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.
