The Albrecht-Dürer-Haus is one of the most famous museums and exhibitions in Nuremberg. Between 1509 and 1528, it was Albrecht Dürer’s home and workplace. Today, the building is both a memorial and a museum. The rooms feature period furnishings, and visitors can see a demonstration of the printing procedure used in Dürer’s lifetime in one of the bedrooms. The top floor, meanwhile, showcases copies of the artist’s works. The museum houses a variety of temporary exhibitions featuring original works. We highly recommend taking the guided tour with Agnes Dürer, wife of the famous artist. She gives a faithful account of what life was like 500 years ago.

On the corner of Špiro Brusina Street and Mihovil Klaić Street there is a simple and charming Gothic Church of St Michael’s, once a part of the Franciscan monastery. A Gothic portal, which is adorned by reliefs from the 14th century, dominates the facade. In its single-nave interior there is a painted wooden Romanesque crucifixion from the 13th century. There is also a small collection of art works in the monastery. The present church was built in 1389 and added to in the 19th century.

Nuremberg’s oldest town church St. Sebald dates back to approx. the year 1215. The church is located underneath the Imperial Castle and contains important works of art such as the imposing 4.17 meter high tomb built by the artist Peter Vischer - the bones of Nuremberg's patron saint Sebaldus are presumed to rest here. The famous Nuremberg painter Albrecht Dürer was baptized and got married there. Destroyed during World War II, St. Sebald was reconstructed in 1957.
