Experts' Choice Award St. Sebaldus Church
What the experts agree on
Nuremberg's St. Sebaldus impresses with its rare architectural purity—a stellar example of Gothic design where Romanesque and early French Gothic styles seamlessly blend in the nave and choir.
“Although St. Sebaldus lacks the quantity of art treasures found in its rival St. Lorenz, its nave and choir are among the purest examples of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture in Germany.”
