Kirche, Catholic parish church in Effeltrich, Germany
St. Georg Church features four defensive towers, a 200-meter-long wall, and a covered walkway along its southern fortification section.
The church fortress was constructed in the late 15th century after Nuremberg troops raided the town of Effeltrich twice.
The interior contains High Gothic statues, a Baroque high altar, and a Rococo pulpit that represent different periods of religious art.
The church hosts regular Sunday services and maintains a cemetery within its grounds for the local Catholic community.
Every Easter Monday, the Georgi-Ritt horse procession takes place to honor Saint George, the patron saint of the church.
