St. Kilian's Church in Heilbronn showcases remarkable Gothic architecture, constructed around 1280 from Heilbronn sandstone. The west tower, designed by Hans Schweiner, is one of the first significant Renaissance structures north of the Alps. Inside, the altar by Hans Seyfer from 1498 captivates as a masterpiece of late Gothic German wood carving.
