St. Lorenz

St. Lorenz: One of the most important medieval churches, situated in Nuremburg, Bavaria. While building began in 1270, the structure took more than 200 years to complete; its intricate design and Gothic traceries over the arched doorway depict heavenly, biblical themes of redemption – from the sins of Adam and Eve, to the ultimate atonement of God’s Final Judgement.

While bombings during the Second World War left St. Lorenz badly damaged, much of its interior remains in its original resplendence; decorated with intricate carvings and stained glass dated from the 14th century.
