St. Lorenz is a Gothic church building in Nuremberg. The Lorenzkirche was the parish church of the medieval settlement core of the former imperial city of Nuremberg, located south of the Pegnitz river, and in terms of urban development it forms the counterpart to the older church of St. Sebald in the northern part of the city. Construction of the three-nave basilica began around 1250, and the late Gothic hall choir was completed in 1477. The patron saint of the church is St. Lawrence. The roof and vaulting of the building, which were badly damaged in the Second World War, have been restored. The very important late Gothic furnishings were largely preserved by removal from storage. Since the Reformation, St. Lawrence's Church has been one of Nuremberg's two large Protestant city churches, along with St. Sebald's Church, both of which belong to the Nuremberg Deanery of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria. The Lorenzkirche is the seat of Nuremberg's city dean and it is traditionally here that the newly elected regional bishop is introduced.
