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 market fountain at the Viehmarkt is a lovingly designed modern fountain located directly in front of the Alte Schranne (Old Market). It depicts two life-size farmers, each carrying a goose and a piglet in their arms—an image symbolizing the vibrant market culture and trade of bygone times.

The Deininger Gate is one of Nördlingen's historic city gates and a striking example of late medieval defensive architecture. It once served as an architectural model for the neighboring Löpsinger Gate and is notable for its slender construction and curved roof. Unlike the city's other gate towers, the Deininger Gate lacked a gun platform, making it particularly vulnerable to enemy attacks. A memorial plaque commemorates the dramatic events of 1634, when imperial soldiers entered the tower during the Battle of Nördlingen. The defenders were only able to expel them by setting fire to the tower itself. The current structure, with its twelve round-arched windows, dates from the final years of the Thirty Years' War, around 1645/1646. The gate is an impressive testament to Nördlingen's eventful history and a popular stop on the historical city tour.

Built in the 13th century, originally used as a trade fair hall. Continuously seat of the city administration since 1382. The striking open staircase made of suevite stone, built in 1618, is an art-historical highlight. Beneath the staircase is the "Narrenhäuslein," a former prison room also associated with the witch hunts. The building is centrally located on the market square and is a popular starting point for city tours.

The current building dates from the late Gothic period; the north portal of the church bears the date 1509. The interior, however, is Baroque in style. The vault was added in its present form in 1596. The monastery was dissolved by the Protestant ruler (Monheim had belonged to the new Principality of Palatinate-Neuburg since 1506). The pilgrimage ceased. Remains of the monastery are still visible in the present-day St. Walburg House and in the cloister. The church tower was completed in 1575.

This ruined church is said to be one of the most extraordinary places of pilgrimage and power in the ancient Danube Valley. The Spindeltal ruined church is a revived medieval Marian pilgrimage site. Until about 25 years ago, few people knew that, hidden behind hedges, there was a pilgrimage church with a varied history. In the 1990s, an association strengthened and expanded the walls, and added a roof. Today, it is once again a popular place of worship. In fact, the church was destroyed twice over the centuries due to border and denominational issues, as well as disputes over pilgrimage revenue. In 1542, Duke Ottheinrich of Palatinate-Neuburg had the Spindeltal church closed, partially destroyed, and the stained glass windows smashed. He had converted to Protestantism. The area did not become Catholic again until 1618. Unfortunately, the ecclesiastical authorities of the time also contributed to the second destruction: Both the pastor of Rögling (now Swabia), Diocese of Eichstätt, and the pastor of Wellheim (now Upper Bavaria), Diocese of Augsburg, fought for decades over the income from the pilgrimage. The pastor of the neighboring town of Ensfeld (Diocese of Eichstätt) also claimed the funds for himself. With the consent of the ordinariates of both dioceses (!!!), the Spindeltal Church was demolished for this reason in 1782/83. Even today, the diocese border runs right (!) through the middle of the church. The chancel extends to the stairs of the Diocese of Augsburg, the nave to Eichstätt. The entire church belongs to the Diocese of Augsburg. Until the early 1980s, the Spindeltal Church was an overgrown, dilapidated ruin. Gradually, it was uncovered and reinforced. Initially, around 1987, a temporary tarpaulin was installed as a roof, which held up well during previous services in the pouring rain. Thanks to the efforts of a support association, it was replaced with a permanent roof, and over time, various exterior renovations were carried out. The charm of the Spindeltal Church also lies in the fact that the boundaries of the original ruins can still be seen inside and out. The pilgrimage to Our Lady in the Spindeltal has been revived; especially in the summer, pilgrim masses and Marian chants from various parishes from both dioceses (!) are held there regularly every year since 1995 – usually at the beginning of July – and motorcyclists from several districts have met there to celebrate a motorcycle service followed by a blessing of their vehicles. This service took place until 2019, but had to be canceled since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Various hermits also lived at this special place from 1745 to 1763. It's fitting that a large sandstone Madonna statue was excavated there on December 5, 1931, at a depth of approximately 3 meters by a worker from Tagmersheim. Since then, in 2022, 91 years have passed. The Madonna was also subject to further litigation. Eventually, it was given to the parish of Ensfeld. A copy of the statue is now housed in the Spindeltal Church; the original is in Ensfeld.

The view offers a magnificent panorama of the picturesque Gailach Valley and the historic market town. The path to the castle ruins leads along narrow, sometimes steep paths – sturdy footwear is recommended. From the Halsgraben ditch with its parking lot, a short climb leads to the ruins. Access is possible at any time, but not wheelchair accessible.
