With 3.9 out of 5 on Google from 386 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for kirchen, moscheen & gotteshäuser in Nürnberg. German customers tend to review sparingly and critically, so a mid-range score with detailed comments is often a fair picture.
Nürnberg is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. German addresses put the street name before the house number, followed by the five-digit postcode and the town, as in "Marienplatz 8, 80331 München". The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

The only baroque church in Nuremberg with classical interior. badly damaged in 1945 but still a chapel was the sole survivor. Today it stands rising in the oldest part of the city.

St. Egidien is a Baroque church at Egidienplatz in Nuremburg. The church's history dates back to the early Middle Ages. However, the church you see today is a post WWII reconstruction of the early 18th-century building by Johann Trost and Gottlieb Trost. Sadly, during the 20th-century reconstructions, it was cost prohibitive to revive the churches previous ornate Baroque interior. Instead it seems a more subtle and economically feasible rebuild took place, resulting a rather simple interior that you see today in the form of an oval shaped nave with an appealing bronze crucifix at the main altar. The exterior is attractive, featuring two towers with clock faces, topped with crosses. These make for nice photos when you step back on the square a bit. Have a look-see of the church if you plan to pass through Egidienplatz during your visit to Nuremburg. It is worth 5-10 minutes of your time to see the inside.

A beautiful church. It's a strong contrast between the modern looking interior and the old style facade.
