A little about St. Elizabeth of Hungary cathedral:
This work drawing depicts the perspective elevation of the high altar of the German architectural marvel constructed in the 13th century CE to house the shrine of St. Elizabeth of Hungary and serve as a church for the Knights of the Teutonic Order. It was commissioned by Landgrave Conrad, her brother-in-law, and their Grand Master. St. Elizabeth was canonized on March 27, 1235, and construction of the church began on August 12 of the same year. Completed in 1283, the knights utilized it until the order's dissolution in 1809.
