The tower was badly hit by American bombing raids in 1945, the roof and the top floor with two of the three turrets were largely destroyed (the left turret is original), the upper floors burned out. Reconstruction took place between 1950 and 1954.[6] The building was restored by Rudo Göschel on behalf of the Schlüsselfelder Family Foundation, which still owns it today. The coat of arms frieze was also largely renewed, and fragments of the original parts are still in the tower.

The Nassauer House or the Schlüsselfeldersche Foundation House in Nuremberg is a medieval residential tower made of so-called red castle sandstone. Originally built in a Romanesque style, the house still features Gothic style elements after some modifications. It is the last residential tower still in existence in Nuremberg. [wikipedia]
