St. Martin, Parish church in Forchheim, Germany.

St. Martin church stands as a Gothic basilica with a tower from 1406, featuring a plastered flat beam ceiling and vaulted sections throughout its structure.

The church originated from a Carolingian royal court chapel, later becoming a collegiate church in 1354 under Bishop Leopold von Bebenburg of Bamberg.

The church maintains an active schedule of religious services and hosts regular children's church activities, connecting the local community through faith-based gatherings.

The parish office operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with additional Monday afternoon hours from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM.

Six bells compose the church's bell system, including the Martinsglocke from 1837 and a rare nameless bell dating back to 1572.
