St. Egidien

Why go

The church stands on the site of a medieval Benedictine abbey linked to Nuremberg's early imperial history. Its Baroque oval space differs from the Gothic churches around the Old Town, while the adjacent chapels preserve older layers. Looking at both explains how one religious site changed form without losing every trace of its past.

What to look for

• The Baroque church opens into an oval interior.
• Medieval chapels survive beside the main church.
• Egidienplatz sets the former abbey site in the Old Town.

Useful to know

• Request access in advance if the medieval chapels are a priority.
• Check current church access before travelling specifically for the interior.
