St. Elisabeth Church

3 BradJill - 2 years ago

Elisabethkirche (St. Elizabeth's Church) is located at Jakobplatz in the city centre of Nuremburg. This is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Elizabeth of Hungary.

The church history dates back to the early Middle Ages. However, the present building was constructed in 1785 - 1802 by Franz Ignaz Michael Neumann and later Peter Anton von Vershcaffelt. Heavily damaged during WWII bombings, Elisabethkirche was restored during the late 1940s.

What you see today is a Neo-classical style building with a large dome and decent exterior. Within, you will find an open and circular nave with marble columns. Most interesting are the niches with statues of the apostles in the inner dome.

Give Elisabethkirche if you are in the area and enjoy visiting historic churches during your travels. You can conveniently combine with a stop at St. Jakob just across the square.

A wonderful work of art. Especially liked the statues of the apostles under the dome. The statues are realistic, as if alive. When you find yourself inside then You understand the genius of mankind, the power of self-awareness. I really recommend everyone to visit this amazing place. Make art not war))

Churches only start to appeal once you get old enough to see and appreciate architecture. This is a small church but the detail in the statues and artwork is fantastic but the venue is small enough that you don’t lose an afternoon looking at it.

As always, if you found this review useful please remember to like it. If people like the review (whether you agree or not), it encourages me to write more ;)
