ネルトリンゲンのバルディンガー・トーは、5つの歴史的な市門の一つで、1376年に初めて言及されました。ヴュルツブルクとフランクフルト・アム・マインの方向への道を確保し、中世の市壁の一部でした。前衛的な構造物は1406年にマイスター・ヴェンツェスラウスによって完成され、1430年には石工コンラート・ステンクリンの指揮下で再建されました。 元々、門の構造はベルガー・トーに似ていました。ほぼ正方形の前衛的な構造物を持つ、長方形の主門建築です。塔は5階建てで、砲撃用の胸壁とテント屋根を持つ円形の頂部構造を備えていました。三十年戦争中に門は損傷し、1703年には不十分な修理が原因で塔が予期せず崩壊しました。この事故で5人が死亡しました。

The Klösterle in Nördlingen is the former Franciscan monastery, founded around 1233. Originally dedicated to Saint Nicholas, and later to the Virgin Mary, it was an important center of religious life in the town. During the Reformation, the monastery was dissolved in 1536, and the town acquired the building for 50 guilders as a retirement provision for the last three monks. In the following centuries, the Klösterle underwent several repurposings: between 1584 and 1587, it was converted into a granary, and later served as a fire station and storage facility. Today, the building houses the Nördlingen Town Hall with a theater stage and a hotel.

The harbor market in Nördlingen has been a central trading center for pottery since the 16th century. Merchants from all over southern Germany offered their wares here, especially during the traditional Whitsun fairs. The historic harbor house, once the center of the market, was destroyed by fire in 1955. Today, a plaque commemorates its significance for the town's history.

The "Daniel" church tower of St. George's Church in Nördlingen is the town's most visible landmark and a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture. At 90 meters high, the tower rises above the town's rooftops and offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Nördlinger Ries region – on a clear day, up to 99 church towers can be seen. Construction began in 1454 and was completed in 1490 with a temporary roof. After a lightning strike in 1537, the tower received its characteristic Italian dome. Originally known as the "Wendelstein," it was renamed "Daniel" in the 19th century – an allusion to the biblical figure Daniel, who was elevated to the rank of prince. The Daniel tower is particularly vividly brought to life by a centuries-old tradition: Every evening between 10 p.m. and midnight, the watchman calls out "So G'sell, so!" from the tower room. – a greeting that dates back to a legend from 1440 in which a runaway sow helped uncover a treason and save the city from an attack. Those who climb the more than 350 steps to the viewing platform will be rewarded not only with an impressive panorama but also with a sense of the history and soul of this unique city.

The Berger Gate in Nördlingen is one of the five remaining city gates and once secured the road toward Ulm. It was built between 1435 and 1436 by the master builder Hans Rews. The upper tower floors were later expanded between 1574 and 1575 by Wolfgang and Caspar Waldberger, giving the gate its present appearance. Particularly noteworthy is the coffered barrel vault of the gate passage – an architectural detail that gives the gate its distinctive character. A cannonball from the Thirty Years' War remains embedded in the masonry, commemorating the siege of Nördlingen in 1634.

Built in the 13th century, originally used as a trade fair hall. The city administration has been continuously housed here since 1382. The striking feature is the open staircase made of suevite ashlar, built in 1618 – an art historical highlight. Beneath the staircase is the "Fool's House," a former prison cell also connected to the witch hunts. The building is centrally located on the market square and is a popular starting point for city tours.
