St. Sebald - Sebalduskirche Nürnberg

Absolutely stunning; hands down one of the most beautiful churches I’ve visited in Europe. The twin spires dominate the skyline, but it’s the details that stay with you: Romanesque roots blending seamlessly with soaring Gothic architecture, the intricate stone carvings over the portals, and the rich play of light through centuries-old stained glass. Inside, the space is breathtaking. The high vaulted ceilings lift your eyes upward, while the elaborate tomb of St. Sebald, crafted in dark bronze with remarkable detail, anchors the interior with reverence. Each chapel holds its own story, from altarpieces to frescoes, giving you a sense of both faith and history woven together. What struck me most was the atmosphere; it feels both grand and intimate, a living part of Nuremberg’s heritage rather than just a monument. This is a place to linger, to take in the artistry, and to appreciate how much care and devotion went into creating and preserving it over the centuries.

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to discover and explore this great church with #Littlefeet. On the occasion of a choir trip to Nuremberg, #Littlefeet and its choir were able to give a small concert in the Sebalduskirche or St. Sebaldkirche during a prayer service together with the Nuremberg Youth Choir. Really impressive! This church is a masterpiece! We were even allowed into the choir of angels and the choir sang the Our Father high up there, so that the visitors down in the nave turned around in amazement and delight ... Before the choir sang a few songs in the nave in front of the altar, we were able to experience the impressive organ. And for those who missed it: Outside next to the entrance is a plaque stating that Johann Pachelbel worked here as an organist from 1695 to 1706. It was a wonderful time in one of the most beautiful churches in Bavaria. The wonderfully painted windows, the altar and the tomb of St. Sebald in particular impress even people who have nothing to do with church culture or the Christian faith. Thanks for this wonderful experience to everyone who made it possible. Thumbs up!

Wonderful classic church you see in soany southern German cities. Beautiful architecture

Beautiful, peaceful place. Free entrance. It gives name to half of the old centre. Would recommend visiting.

Beautiful church that makes you feel the history, as they have pre-reformation art and stained glass! You can go in this church on Sunday after the service ends at 11:15

Really pretty medieval church with a lot of art inside and out. This place should be conserved and kept beautiful forever. Unfortunately I have not seen any workers or security around the church at any moment of our visit, apart from the workers of the souvenir shop.

One of the most beautiful churches in Nuremberg. One of the two slender bell towers can be visited, in a guided tour(unfortunately, the guide spoke only German).From the top you have a wonderful 360 degrees view of the town. Take care, there are a lot of wooden narrow and steep stairs and the scheme of the tour it's not one of the best I've ever seen. There are groups that climb and, in the same time, other descend. And all of this on that narrow steps where, in some points, only a person barely can pass.
