St. Magdalena, Gothic parish church in Herzogenaurach, Germany
The church stands on an elevated hill north of the main street, featuring Gothic architecture with Baroque furnishings and a bell tower at the west gable.
The original Romanesque chapel from the 11th century was converted into a Gothic structure in the late 13th century, changing its dedication from Saint Martin to Mary Magdalene.
The ceiling decorations, artistic stars, and four historic bells, with the oldest from 1425 bearing the names of the Evangelists, represent regional religious craftsmanship.
The church maintains regular services for approximately 6,000 Catholics within its parish boundaries, including the Liebfrauenkirche and Mariä Geburt in Haundorf district.
The Metzler organ, installed in 2002, contains 42 stops across three manuals and pedals, funded through donations from the local Schaeffler company.
