Esslingen’s Protestant city church commands the Marktplatz from the south and is the most memorable landmark on the skyline.The church has High Gothic architecture, mostly from the 13th century, but was built over two much older churches, from the 700s and 900s.you’ll see that its two towers are linked at the top by a footbridge.This was built in the middle of the 17th century and replaced with a wood-clad steel structure in 1900. If you love Gothic art, you’ll have your hands full inside, where there are 14th-century stained glass windows, oak choir stalls carved with strange characters in 1518, a golden 16th-century tabernacle and a marvellous late-15th-century rood screen.
