Lonely Planet review for St Sebalduskirche

Nuremberg's oldest church was built in the 13th-century. Its exterior is replete with religious sculptures and symbols. Check out the ornate carvings over the Bridal Doorway to the north, showing the Wise and Foolish Virgins. Inside, the bronze shrine of St Sebald (Nuremberg's own saint) is a Gothic and Renaissance masterpiece that took its maker, Peter Vischer the Elder, and his two sons more than 11 years to complete.(Vischer is in it too, sporting a skullcap.)

Tours of the church's tower are by prior arrangement only.
