Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited this nice church by chance. It was raining when we arrived at the Weißer Turm underground station and there was a nice church nearby, so we went into. It’s worth a visit, because it’s nice, especially its dome. It’s free.

All churches have their special characteristics and drawing points. The dome on this church is eye catching.

This domed Church is dedicated to Saint Elizabeth. Beautiful architecture on the outside. Worth taking a look inside if time permits.

Elisabethkirche (St. Elizabeth's Church) is located at Jakobplatz in the city centre of Nuremburg. This is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Elizabeth of Hungary.

The church history dates back to the early Middle Ages. However, the present building was constructed in 1785 - 1802 by Franz Ignaz Michael Neumann and later Peter Anton von Vershcaffelt. Heavily damaged during WWII bombings, Elisabethkirche was restored during the late 1940s.

What you see today is a Neo-classical style building with a large dome and decent exterior. Within, you will find an open and circular nave with marble columns. Most interesting are the niches with statues of the apostles in the inner dome.

Give Elisabethkirche if you are in the area and enjoy visiting historic churches during your travels. You can conveniently combine with a stop at St. Jakob just across the square.

The Elisabethkirche is a really nice church in the centre of Nuremberg and is close to the Weisser Turm metro station. It's worth taking time to enjoy on your visit.

St. Elizabeth is the largest Roman Catholic church of the city.
It was dedicated to Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and was built in this location.
The chapel was demolished in 1785 and replaced by a neo-classical building.
St. Elizabeth's Church was badly damaged during World War II and reconstructed between 1947 and 1950.
The interior is dominated by twelve monumental apostle statues.

The outside doesn't look that spectacular aside from the dome on the top. There is a door to go inside, which is not that obvious. Once inside the interior is in different coloured marble and is worth seeing.

From the exterior I expected more of the same... but found a cozy and very pretty smaller church... too big to be a chapel, but it was an intimate church. Would have enjoyed attending a service there!

St. Elisabeth Church is unique among the other two gothic churches (St. Lorenz and St. Sebald) in Nuremberg. While not as elaborately detailed as St. Lorenz or St. Sebald, St. Elisabeth provides a glimpse into the architecture of the 17 and early 1800's. It's present day altar is situated in the middle of the floor under the dome which demonstrates the congregation's desire to include all into the service as opposed to the altar service at the back of the church.
Worth a stop to compare the changes in church architecture over the centuries with St. Lorenz and St.Sebald.

Is this really a church? From the outside it looks like a government building or a Masonic Hall. Classical architecture which disguises the true building and its usage. The church is very small in snide and almost circular in shape, with the pews arranged in a circle facing towards the middle. The building is very high, because if the domed shape and has large ornate statues of the 12 deciples high above the congregation.
A very unique and unusual building.
