About this audio guide
This guide to St. Sebald's Church in Nuremberg centres on the bronze tomb of the city's patron saint, made between fifteen oh eight and fifteen nineteen by the founder Peter Vischer and his five sons. It follows a design that sat untouched for two decades, a council paying by weight, and a craftsman distracted by an emperor's commission. Stand at the base of the shrine, close enough to find the small bearded figure in the leather apron.
