The top of the Schöne Brunnen, one of the main attractions on Nuremberg's Hauptmarkt market square. This 19 m tall gothic fountain was completed in 1396.
Unfortunately I got only the upper part, as it was market day the lower parts were obscured by market stalls. In the background are the 15th century steeples of the St. Sebaldus church.

The original main organ of St. Sebaldus Church was built in 1440. This current organ was installed in 1975.
Looking across the Nuremberg Hauptmarkt, it was truly inspirational to see so many people enjoying the atmosphere. From the middle of the old town, we could see the two steeples of St. Sebaldus, the massive front half of Lorenzkirche and way up on the hill you can make out one of the towers of the Nuremberg Castle - Nürnberger Burg. For a taste of Americana, the Golden Arches managed to find their way in to the shot as well~!

The construction of St. Sebaldus, named after a legendary 8th-century hermit, now the patron saint of Nuremberg, began in 1225 about two decades before the building of St. Lorenz (prev. uploads) started only about 300 meters west. That probably caused a kind of rivalry. Both churches are clearly influenced by the Bamberg Cathedral. When St. Sebaldus was completed in 1273/75 this was a Romanesque basilica.
Only decades later important changes started: the side aisles got demolished and were replaced by wider Gothic ones (1309-1345). The Gothic chancel was built (1358-1379) - and a century later the two towers were added.
When carpet bombings end of World War II destroyed the old town of Nuremberg, St. Sebaldus got seriously damaged. At that time most of the valuable interior (incl. stained glass windows) had been taken out - and so got saved. The rebuilding of the church started still in the 1940s, the (re-)consecration took place in 1957.

In 1508-19, Peter Vischer the Elder and his sons created the celebrated Late Gothic bronze tomb in the Church of St. Sebaldus, considered a masterpiece of the German Renaissance. The cult survived theReformation
See how fine the weather was on our last day....typical!
The construction of the building began in 1225. the church achieved parish church status in 1255 and was completed by 1273-75. It was originally built as a Romanesque basilica with two choirs. During the 14th century several important changes to the construction were made: first the side aisles were widened and the steeples made higher (1309–1345), then the late gothic hall chancel was built (1358–1379). The two towers were added in the 15th century. In the middle 17th century galleries were added and the interior was remodelled in the Baroque fashion. The church suffered serious damage during World War II and was subsequently reconstructed. Some of the old interior did survive, including the Shrine of St. Sebaldus, works by Veit Stoss and the stained glass windows.
Consecrated in 1273, this church is a fine example of 13th-century transition from Romanesque to German Gothic styles.
