High-tech meets Gothic: A Masterpiece
Even before the “LUMINISCENCE” show begins, you can marvel at the architecture of St. Lawrence Church. During an initial tour of this Gothic masterpiece, you’ll encounter information panels that offer fascinating insights into the church’s eventful history and draw your attention to its captivating architecture.
St. Lawrence 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 windows reflects both religious and civic ambitions. Inside, visitors are captivated by Adam Kraft’s tabernacle, Veit Stoss’s wooden sculpture “Annunciation,” and significant stained-glass windows. Originally Catholic, the church converted to Lutheranism in 1525 and survived the Reformation virtually unscathed. As a landmark on Lorenzer Platz in Nuremberg, it continues to shape the cityscape to this day.
Now, “LUMINISCENCE” brings the history of this Nuremberg cultural heritage to life, uniquely blending modernity with the past. Grab your loved ones and enjoy a magical experience for all ages, less than two hours from Munich. But hurry, because the show runs only until May 31!
