(Note: The title should properly read “Nürnberg, Deutschland,” but I translated it for you.)
My favorite church by far in the German city of Nürnberg is St. Lorenz. It stands near the heart of the city, rising up with a sense of Medieval majesty that seems unreal. Built in stages from the 1200 to the 1400s, and rebuilt after World War II, it stands as a testament of time that dizzied this young American’s mind.
Should you find yourself in Nürnberg, be sure to take at least half an hour to visit this church. A note in five languages at the door asks for the donation of a euro (that’s barely more than the price of a trip to the restroom). Stroll the perimeter, then sit down in a pew and soak in the atmosphere of another era. Here are a few blurry photos I managed to capture of this glorious landmark.
