Franciscan Church, Gothic church building in Wetzlar, Germany.
The Franciscan Church features three naves, a choir with three bays, and a five-sided apse, demonstrating characteristic Gothic architectural elements.

The interior contains medieval artifacts including a Romanesque font, a 14th-century Pietá, and depictions of the Mother of God on a crescent moon.
