Nürnberg Deutschordenskirche St. Jakob

After our visit to the Christkindlesmarkt, we went on exploring the city of Nuremberg. Although we couldn't roam around a lot, we roamed around the Operhaus Ubahn station. The U-Bahn station itself was so different from the rest of the Ubahn stations we had visited in Germany. It was old but stylish, open and gave a good feeling. Wanted to visit the DB museum, but it was closed. However, when we walked our way back near the HBF (Main railway station), we visited the Operhaus (Opera House) of Nuremberg, which was majestic. The walk along the Frauentormauer (from Operhaus Ubahn station till Handwerkershof) is also beautiful. The Open passageway below this gives a feeling of Castle passageway, which has a nice vibe to it.
Then we visited the lake of Nuremberg (that's what we like to call it) and there we got to see the Meergottsbrunnen (I guess it has something to do with the sea god Poseidon - who's also know as for being the god of horses (crazy right !)). The statue has a man sitting on top of a galloping horse, which looks great with the lake as background.
Then we returned towards the Lorenzkirche (St. Lawrence Church) which we felt, is the most famous church of Nuremberg. However, we were not able to enter this church, as it seemed closed.
So, we visited other churches - St. Elisabeth church, and St. Jakob's church.
Both were huge and were open. We entered the church, and they were large and beautifully decorated. One thing which we get to see a lot in Germany (actually in Europe for that matter) : Large and Majestic Catholic churches. One can only imagine how big the Lorenzkirche would have been (it was definitely much bigger than these churches). We prayed to God, admired the decorations of the church and left to have our dinner at DelhiEats - which is an amazing Indian restaurant.
Finally, after dinner, we retired for the day and went back to our AirBnB accommodation.Read more
