Pfarrkirche, Parish church in Münnerstadt, Germany.

St. Maria Magdalena is a parish church begun around 1230 by the Teutonic Order under Count Poppo of Henneberg. Its west tower mixes Romanesque and early Gothic forms, with paired windows under round relieving arches but pointed openings. A late Gothic choir and portals survive from the 15th-century rebuild, and the nave was remodelled 1605–1612 under Prince-Bishop Julius Echter with flat painted ceilings and grisaille paintings.

Construction began around 1230 under Count Poppo of Henneberg, with the Teutonic Order building the church; the west tower survives from this late Romanesque phase. In the first half of the 15th century the townspeople funded a late Gothic new building, including the choir and its seven windows. In 1490 Tilman Riemenschneider received the commission for the Magdalene altarpiece, installed in 1492. Under Prince-Bishop Julius Echter the nave was rebuilt in Renaissance form between 1605 and 1612.

The church is dedicated to Mary Magdalene, and its 1490 contract with Tilman Riemenschneider produced the Magdalene retable, installed in autumn 1492; Veit Stoss reworked its colouring in 1504. The Baroque high altar that replaced it in 1649/53 held Hans Caspar Haas's Noli-me-tangere painting, now on the south wall of the choir.

The church sits centrally in Münnerstadt and is easily reached on foot from the town center. Services take place regularly, and visitors should check current times before visiting for special events.

The south tower bears the year 1446, but that date marks when the tower reached its present height, long after the choir was built. The choir itself is dated by Julia and Christian Hecht to between 1400 and 1420.
