Built between 1235 and 1283, and later given its two high spires, the Protestant Elisabethkirche is considered to be Germany’s earliest pure-Gothic church. The highlight inside is the Hohe Chor (high choir), where you can see beautiful Gothic stained glass behind an astounding stone Hochaltar (high altar). The cathedral also houses the elegant Elisabeth-Schrein (Elisabeth Shrine), dedicated to St Elisabeth, whose burial here made the church a site of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. The church is located about 100m south of Bahnhofstrasse.
