Os muros da cidade, com suas ameias e poderosos bastiões, formam um círculo protetor ao redor das preciosas relíquias de eras passadas. O Spitalbastei no portão sul é particularmente impressionante. As torres não são a única característica de destaque da Igreja de São Tiago (St. James's Church); o interior é igualmente surpreendente, possuindo três altares feitos por Tilman Riemenschneider, renomado escultor de madeira.

The keystone on the outer arch bears the date 1586, Weidmann's initials and a Latin inscription which reads "Peace to those who enter, health to those who leave".Gothic St. James's church
