From 1268 to 1801, Langenzenn was the seat of the dean's office, with a brief interruption after the Reformation. Since the Ottonian or Romanesque church did not correspond to the importance of Langenzenn, in 1280 the Burgrave Friedrich III. started building a new church. The burgraves Johann III. and Frederick VI. transformed this church into an Augustinian monastery in 1409. At this time, the pilgrimages to the “Black Mary of Langenzenn” took place, which continued after the Reformation. The monastery itself was dissolved after the introduction of the Reformation in 1533. As an Evangelical-Lutheran town church, the former monastery church is probably one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in the district of Fürth. One of its special art treasures is the Annunciation relief by Veit Stoss from 1513.

South of the path with access via Milchgasse:
The romantic ensemble of buildings in the old town, including the monastery complex and local history museum.
The monastery complex of the Augustinian canons from the year 1409 with a particularly well-preserved cloister as well as the monastery courtyard games and children's theater Klostermäuse, which take place regularly.
The town church has a 46m high church tower and the Annunciation relief by the famous Nuremberg sculptor Veit Stoss.

The cloister courtyard vault was very impressive.
