Description

St. Florin' s Church is a triple-naved Romanesque pillared basilica (founded in the 12th century) with Gothic chancel (1350) on Roman tower. The original flat timber ceiling was renewed in 1708, and the squat towers were replaced in 1900 by pointed ones. Nearby is the city's oldest dwelling house.

Opposite, where the vicarage belonging to the Church of our Beloved Lady now stands, is the site where the central section of the Franconian royal court originally stood in the 6th century.
