Historic Churches & Shrines

Nuremberg's religious history is preserved through a mix of grand architecture and modest stone monuments. The list features the medieval Lutheran St. James' Church and the neoclassical Roman Catholic St. Elisabeth’s, known for its prominent dome. Complementing these are traditional Franconian shrines like the Pestmarter and the Praun’sche Säule, which represent the city's regional heritage and long-standing traditions of religious folk art and commemorative stone masonry.
