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 Old Bastion was originally built in the 15th century as a mighty bulwark to reinforce the city walls. The city was particularly vulnerable at this point due to the rising terrain of the Galgenberg (Gallows Hill). The current structure dates from 1554, erected by Caspar Walberger, and was expanded in 1598 by Wolfgang Walberger. The bastion could accommodate up to ten cannons and was a central part of the defense system. Since the 1930s, the bastion has served as an open-air stage, operated by the Alt Nördlingen Association. Every summer, theater performances are held here, attracting visitors from all over the region.
