点评:We spent a handful of nights in Nuremberg this past December and enjoyed visiting a handful of churches around the city including St. Lorenz located along Konigstrasse at Lorenzerplatz. The church is open from 9am to 5.30pm (Mon to Sat) and 1pm to 3.30pm (Sun). Entry is free but there is a suggested donation of €2 per person. It is a fine church worth 20-30 minutes to walk around and enjoy.
St. Lawrence was mostly constructed during the 14th and 15th centuries and is a fine example of Gothic architecture. Originally a Roman Catholic Church, St. Lawrence converted to Lutheran around 1525. Interestingly, many of the earlier church treasures were spared during the Reformation Period, thus we find the interior rich with fine chapels, altarpieces, sculptures and artworks. The hanging 'Angelic Salutation' by Veit Stoss (1518) and the delicately carved sandstone Tabernacle by Adam Kraft (1496) near the front of pillar of the choir is remarkable. The church also possesses the largest church organ in Germany.
The exterior of St. Lawrence is impressive as well. The facade features a niche portal, rose window and two bell towers, mirroring St. Sebald Church on the other side of the River Pegnitz. At times of the day, you will hear the bells of St. Lorenz playing if you are on the nearby streets outside the church. A quick walk around St. Lorenzplatz on the sides allows you to view the main body as well as a couple of fountain monuments placed around St. Lorenz.
翻译:去年 12 月,我们在纽伦堡度过了几个晚上,参观了城里的一些教堂,包括位于 Lorenzerplatz 的 Konigstrasse 沿线的圣劳伦斯教堂。教堂开放时间为上午 9 点至下午 5:30(周一至周六)和下午 1 点至下午 3:30(周日)。入场免费,但建议每人捐款 2 欧元。这是一座精美的教堂,值得花 20-30 分钟四处走走欣赏。
圣劳伦斯教堂主要建于 14 世纪和 15 世纪,是哥特式建筑的典范。圣劳伦斯教堂最初是一座罗马天主教堂,大约在 1525 年改建为路德教堂。有趣的是,许多早期的教堂珍宝在宗教改革时期得以保存,因此我们发现教堂内部充满了精美的小教堂、祭坛画、雕塑和艺术品。悬挂的“天使致敬”由 Veit Stoss (1518) 创作,而位于唱诗台柱子前方的由 Adam Kraft (1496) 精心雕刻的砂岩圣幕则非常引人注目。教堂还拥有德国最大的教堂管风琴。
圣劳伦斯教堂的外观也令人印象深刻。教堂正面设有壁龛门廊、玫瑰窗和两座钟楼,与佩格尼茨河对岸的圣塞巴尔德教堂相映成趣。如果您在教堂外附近的街道上,一天中的某些时候,您会听到圣劳伦斯教堂的钟声。沿着圣劳伦斯广场两侧快速步行,您可以看到教堂主体以及圣劳伦斯教堂周围的几座喷泉纪念碑。
