St. Sebaldus Church
St. Sebald
Nuremberg's oldest parish church, dedicated to the city's patron saint, and home to Peter Vischer's bronze tomb of St. Sebaldus, a masterpiece of German Renaissance casting.
This church blends Romanesque and Gothic styles. Inside, the Shrine of St. Sebaldus was cast over more than a decade by Peter Vischer and his sons, and it is decorated with a host of small figures and animals. Admission is free. Across from the church is the famous old bratwurst restaurant, and the castle and Town Hall are both within a five-minute walk, so it's easy to combine them in one route.
Opening hours
Daily approx. 09:30-18:00 (until 16:00 in winter)
