Highlights that the “LUMINISCENCE” show unfolds
Much more than a light and sound show: “LUMINISCENCE ” illuminates the Lorenzkirche in Nuremberg in an impressive way. With impressive projections, music and immersive 360° mapping, the Gothic architecture and works of art can be experienced in a completely new light.
As soon as the show begins, you can sit back and let yourself be carried away by the projections. You will become part of a spectacular 360° experience of light, sound and emotion. A live choir with live organ adds an extra dimension to the visual part and gives you goosebumps. Every note and every voice fills the nave and unfolds in the impressive acoustics. Live singing, organ and architecture merge to create an intense, sensual experience.
High-tech meets Gothic: a masterpiece
Even before the “LUMINISCENCE” show begins, you can be impressed by the architecture of the Lorenzkirche. On your first tour of the Gothic masterpiece, you will come across information boards that provide fascinating insights into the church’s eventful history and draw your attention to its fascinating architecture.
The Lorenzkirche, whose construction began around 1250 and whose late Gothic hall choir was completed in 1477, is one of the masterpieces of German city church architecture. The richly decorated west façade with twin towers and rose windows shows religious and civic ambitions. Inside, Adam Kraft’s tabernacle, Veit Stoss’ wooden sculpture “Engelgruß” and important stained glass windows are a delight. Originally Catholic, the church converted to Lutheranism in 1525 and survived the Reformation almost unscathed. As a landmark on Lorenzer Platz in Nuremberg, it still shapes the cityscape to this day. From February 6, 2026, “LUMINISCENCE” will bring the history of this Nuremberg cultural heritage site to life, combining modernity and the past in a unique way.
