The Frauenkirche, constructed between 1352 and 1362 by Peter Parler, stands as a prime example of Gothic architecture in Nuremberg. Its impressive choir with a 5/8 end and intricate 14th-century sculptures highlight its historical significance. Notably, the western gable features the 'Männleinlaufen', a mechanical marvel from 1509.
