Stadtpfarrkirche St. Jakob (Parish Church of St. Jacob) Review
The church has some notable Riemenschneider sculptures, including the famous Heiliges Blut (Holy Blood) altar. Above the altar a crystal capsule is said to contain drops of Christ's blood. There are three 14th- and 15th-century stained-glass windows in the choir, and the Herlin-Altar is famous for its 15th-century painted panels.
