St. George's Collegiate Church

The stone edifice displays Gothic architecture with twin spires rising above the historic quarter, featuring intricate sculptures along its exterior walls and flying buttresses.

Construction of St. George's Collegiate Church began in 1470 under architect Peter von Koblenz, with the choir completed by 1476 and the nave finished in 1490.

The church houses tombs of 14 Württemberg rulers and their consorts in the choir area, following the destruction of the high altar during the 1536 iconoclasm.

The church opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM between Easter and Harvest Festival, and from 9 AM to 4 PM during the rest of the year.

Nine bells ring from the church tower, with the oldest dating back to medieval times and the newest, Gloriosa, cast in 1963.
