Its interior was fundamentally redesigned, especially in the 1970s.

The building is a listed building.
Sight 5: Barfüßerkirche
The Barfüßerkirche in Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg goes back to the medieval Franciscan monastery in the city, which was abolished during the Reformation. When the monastery buildings were destroyed in the city fire in 1689, only the imposing choir of the church remained, which again served as a place of worship for various faiths from the 18th century onwards and is now a listed cultural monument.

The former castle and collegiate church of St. Michael in Pforzheim, Baden-Württemberg, together with the neighbouring archive tower, is one of the last medieval testimonies of Pforzheim, whose medieval townscape was almost completely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, the Palatinate War of Succession and most recently in the Second World War.
