Waldsassen (German pronunciation: [valtˈzasn̩] (listen); Northern Bavarian: Woidsassen) is a town in the district of Tirschenreuth in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria. Waldsassen is the northernmost municipality of the Upper Palatinate region. In the northeast, it borders the town of Cheb (Eger) in the Czech Republic. The historic tripoint of ducal Altbayern, the Franconian lands of Bayreuth, and the Bohemian Egerland lies near the village of Pechtnersreuth. The town is famous for the Waldsassen Basilica and Waldsassen Abbey, both built in a Baroque style. The latter contains the much visited Abbey library, whose wood carvings were completed by Karl Stilp in 1726. Four km north of the town, on Glasberg hill, is the Chapel of the Trinity (Dreifaltigkeitskirche Kappl), built in 1689, and a popular pilgrimage destination because of its quirky architecture.
