St. Lorenz Church, whose construction began around 1250 and whose late Gothic hall choir was completed in 1477, is one of the masterpieces of German urban church architecture. The richly decorated west facade with twin towers and rose window reflects religious and urban ambitions. Inside, Adam Kraft’s tabernacle, Veit Stoss’ wooden sculpture “Engelgruß” (Annunciation) and significant stained glass windows inspire visitors. Originally Catholic, the church converted to Lutheranism in 1525 and survived the Reformation almost unscathed. As a landmark on Lorenzer Platz in Nuremberg, it continues to shape the cityscape to this day.
