St. Jakobus und Nikolaus, Medieval church in Obernzenn, Germany.

St. Jakobus und Nikolaus is a fortified church built around 1200 from stone blocks in Urphertshofen, part of Obernzenn. Its steep gabled facade has two small recessed windows and a cross-shaped opening above them. A square stone tower with a white upper section, black clock face with gold numerals, and a tiered roof with a small spire and weathervane rises on the right.

Built around 1200 of stone blocks as a fortified church (Wehrkirche), it belonged to the parish of Obernzenn. In the late 17th century the nave walls were raised to insert galleries; in 1755 the eastern chancel tower gained an octagonal storey for the clock and bell frame, covered by a slate-clad bell hood. The sacristy was added to the north side of the tower in 1851.

The church is a branch of the Obernzenn parish within the Bad Windsheim deanery of the Ansbach-Würzburg church district. Its furnishings are plain: the stone altar table and modern baptismal font are stone, while the altarpiece and octagonal pulpit date from the 20th century. The 19th-century fittings are otherwise simple.

The church stands in Urphertshofen, a district of the market town Obernzenn, not in Obernzenn itself. It is a branch church of the Obernzenn parish in the Bad Windsheim deanery. The sacristy added in 1851 on the north side of the chancel tower marks the entrance side for visitors.

The church began around 1200 as a fortified church (Wehrkirche) of block masonry, so the thick lower walls served a defensive purpose. In 1755 the east chancel tower gained an octagonal storey to hold the clock and bell frame, capped by a slate-covered bell hood. The sacristy on the north side was added only in 1851.
