St. Franziskus, Baroque church in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.

The Franciscan church features three bells, including one cast around 1300, and contains a high altar representing South German Rococo architecture.

The church underwent substantial modifications in 1718, transforming its original Romanesque and Gothic elements into the current Baroque architectural style.

The interior of St. Franziskus displays extensive frescoes by Joseph Wannenmacher depicting different stages from the life of Saint Francis.

Located at Franziskanergasse 37 in Schwäbisch Gmünd, the church serves both the Catholic Francis of Assisi community and Croatian-speaking congregation.

The church houses a Walcker organ from 1960 with 35 stops across three manuals and a pedal board, built by craftsmen from Ludwigsburg.
