Exalsion of the Holy Cross Catholic Church

When Emperor Francis I visited Františkovy Lázně in 1812, the Cheb municipality demanded the construction of an appropriate spa church. The construction was carried out between 1815 and 1820 according to the plans of the c. k. court building office, worth 85,000 gold of the Viennese currency, of which 72,000 were donated by Emperor Francis I himself.

In 1814, the emperor also determined that the local spiritual administration should be led by the Order of Crusaders with the Red Star, which still administers the local parish founded in 1868.
