For storytellers

Why Church of St Elizabeth matters

This church looks like it was made from icing. Its walls, roof and details are all in soft blue and white, in a style from the early twentieth century. It is small, so a short stop is enough, but it is delightful from outside. Combine it with a walk through the nearby streets, where you will find other early twentieth-century buildings.

Talking points

  • The whole building is pale blue.
  • It was built in the Art Nouveau era.
  • It looks especially pretty in sunshine.
