WebsiteSt. Elisabeth, which is built in the classical style, stands opposite the Weißer Turm. From 1281, it was the Order of German Knight's official place of worship, but the building we see today was not errected until 1780. After interuptions to the building work, which were thanks to increased intolerance towards Catholics, the site was given back to the Catholic church. From 1885 onwards, it was built according to the original plans. The church, which has an enormous cuppola, topped by the Order's cross, is an interesting piece of architecture: its center is supported by marble columns and the high altar, is also made of marble. The twelve apostles stand underneath the cuppola.
