Visible from afar, the 71.5 metre high tower of the town church stands above Schwabach's old town. Its roots go back to the early Middle Ages; a simple church building probably already stood on this site in the first settlement on the Schwabach. In its present form, the town church, which bears the names of St John and St Martin, was built and financed as a pseudo-basilica by the citizens of Schwabach between 1410 and around 1509. The magnificent Gothic high altar, which comes from the Nuremberg workshop of Michael Wolgemut and has made the church famous far beyond Schwabach, is also more than five hundred years old.
