Cheb

The Ohře River defines the setting of Cheb — its broad valley gives this western Bohemian town an open setting and has shaped movement through the borderland for centuries. Cheb’s compact historic centre is anchored by King George of Poděbrady Square, where the Špalíček complex preserves a row of tightly packed medieval merchant houses. Above the river stands Cheb Castle, whose Romanesque imperial palace is a rare survivor of secular architecture from the period. The town’s position close to Germany is reflected in its long role as a regional trading centre.
