The ensemble church square in Gunzenhausen , a town in Middle Franconia district of Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen is an architectural ensemble , under monument stands.

description

It includes the settlement core of Gunzenhausen in the southeast corner of the city, where a prehistoric castrum was located on a plateau .

The free-standing Gothic parish church of St. Mariä Virginis rises in the center of the church square . In the west and north, town houses and parsonages, especially those from the 18th century, form the delimiting renovation.

The old box courtyard can be seen on the small northern side square with the houses at Kirchenplatz 1, 3, 5 and 7 . In the south and east, the Kirchenstraße, which arches around the plateau, with its properties following the course of the city wall, describes the boundaries of the ensemble.

The sexton's house south of the parish church (Kirchenplatz 8), a half-timbered building from the 17th century, forms a characteristic contrast to the modest buildings on Kirchenstrasse.
