⛪ St. Lorenz Church, Nuremberg – Gothic Splendor in the Old Town

#hellohalloween Standing tall in Nuremberg’s Old Town, St. Lorenz Church is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, with soaring spires, intricate stone carvings, and a history that stretches back to the 13th century ✨🏰. Walking inside, I was struck by the soaring vaulted ceilings, colorful stained-glass windows, and detailed altarpieces, which make the space feel both grand and serene. The church is full of artistic treasures, from sculptures by Veit Stoss to ornate chapels tucked along the side aisles. I loved pausing near the choir, imagining centuries of music and ceremonies filling the air, while sunlight streamed through the medieval windows 🌤️🎶. 📍 Location: Lorenzer Platz 1, Nuremberg Old Town — just a short walk from Hauptmarkt. 💡 Tip: Visit in the morning for softer light inside and a quieter experience before the crowds arrive. St. Lorenz isn’t just a church — it’s a living monument to Nuremberg’s medieval artistry and spiritual life 🇩🇪✨.
