St. Sebaldus Church was built from 1225 and reached parish status in 1255, with a Gothic hall choir added between 1358 and 1379 and twin towers completed in the 15th century. It holds the shrine of St. Sebaldus, a bronze monument cast by Peter Vischer the Elder and his sons between 1508 and 1519.

The Frauenkirche was built between 1352 and 1362 on Nuremberg's main market square, commissioned by Emperor Charles IV on the site of a destroyed synagogue. Its brick-Gothic west front carries the Männleinlaufen, a mechanical clock from 1509 that re-enacts the 1356 Golden Bull each day at noon.

St. Lorenz is a Gothic hall church in Nuremberg's old town, begun in 1250 and largely completed by 1477. Its west front holds a rose window nine metres across, and the choir contains Veit Stoss's carved Annunciation and Adam Kraft's sacrament house, a stone tabernacle over 18 metres tall.
