I giardini di Versailles occupano parte di quello che un tempo era il domaine royal de Versailles, il dominio reale della reggia di Versailles. Situati a ovest del palazzo, i giardini coprono una superficie di 815 ettari di terreno, gran parte ricoperto da giardini all'italiana. Dietro una cintura di piante, i giardini sono circondati dalle aree urbane del villaggio di Versailles e da quello di Le Chesnay, oltre che dall'arboreto di Chèvreloup e dalle pianure di Versailles, nonché dalla foresta Satory.
Come parte del domaine national de Versailles et de Trianon, un'entità autonoma operante sotto la montagna la tutela del Ministero della Cultura francese, i giardini sono ad oggi uno dei siti pubblici più visitati di Francia, ricevendo oltre sei milioni di visitatori all'anno.Oltre ai meticolosi parterres di fiori e alle numerose sculture, troneggiano le fontane, sparse in tutto il complesso dei giardini. Databili all'epoca di Luigi XIV, le fontane continuano a funzionare con uno dei sistemi idraulici più complessi e duraturi dell'Ancien Régime, fornendo ai giardini un costante contributo di unica bellezza. Nei fine settimana dalla tarda primavera al primo autunno, l'amministrazione del museo promuove l'iniziativa Grandes Eaux, una serie di spettacoli durante i quali tutte le fontane del giardino funzionano contemporaneamente.
Nel 2012 i giardini assieme al castello sono stati iscritti tra i monumenti protetti dall'UNESCO.

La chiesa di San Lorenzo è il principale luogo di culto evangelico luterano della città bavarese di Norimberga, in Germania, sede del preside della Chiesa evangelica luterana di Baviera.
È un grande edificio gotico, uno dei migliori esempi di questo stile in città, eretto fra il 1250 e il 1477. Nel Medioevo la città libera di Norimberga era divisa in due parti dal fiume Pegnitz. La chiesa di San Lorenzo venne costruita nel borgo medievale a sud del fiume, divenendone poi la parrocchiale, in contrapposizione all'altra grande parrocchia di San Sebaldo, nel quartiere settentrionale. Gravemente danneggiata nella seconda guerra mondiale, la chiesa venne scrupolosamente restaurata secondo i piani originali.
