Nürnberg entdecken

The Frauenkirche was built between 1352 and 1362 on Nuremberg's main market square, commissioned by Emperor Charles IV on the site of a destroyed synagogue. Its brick-Gothic west front carries the Männleinlaufen, a mechanical clock from 1509 that re-enacts the 1356 Golden Bull each day at noon.

St. Sebaldus Church was built from 1225 and reached parish status in 1255, with a Gothic hall choir added between 1358 and 1379 and twin towers completed in the 15th century. It holds the shrine of St. Sebaldus, a bronze monument cast by Peter Vischer the Elder and his sons between 1508 and 1519.

St. Lorenz is a Gothic hall church in Nuremberg's old town, begun in 1250 and largely completed by 1477. Its west front holds a rose window nine metres across, and the choir contains Veit Stoss's carved Annunciation and Adam Kraft's sacrament house, a stone tabernacle over 18 metres tall.
