The Vestnertor was the northern main gate to Nuremberg Castle. The wooden Vestnertorbrücke leads over the moat to the gate entrance under the Vestnertorbastei, then a tunnel leads to the Schwedenhof and on to the clearance. This area was originally part of the Burggrafenburg. At the northern end of the Vestnertorbrücke there is the former customs house called Hexenhäuslä.
