Cheb Museum

The Cheb Museum is more well known for the historic event that took place in the building rather than what the museum has to offer. Located in the old Pachelbel House, this is the place where General Albrecht von Wallenstein was murdered in the year 1634. Wallenstein was a military hero and politician during the Thirty Years' War. He was killed by officers under his charge who were following the orders of the emperor, Ferdinand II. On the second floor, the Cheb Museum recreates the scene of the assassination. The first floor displays are a number of local 20th Century paintings.
