St. Lorenz's Rosette Window

Nuremberg, Germany

The St. Lorenz Cathedral was built 1250-1477. With it's two 80 meter high towers it is one of the most impressive landmarks of Nuremberg.
The western façade between the two steeples is decorated with a rosette window and can be dated via the joint coats of arms of Charles IV and his third wife Anna von Schweidnitz who got married in 1353.
The doorways's sculptures depict the theme of redemption, from Adam and Eve through the Last Judgment. St Lorenz Kirche has a fine interior with many sculptures.
