The Albrecht Dürer House, built around 1420 and Dürer's home and workplace from 1509 to 1528, is the only artist's house from the 15th century that has survived in Northern Europe. The museum provides insights into the life and work of the painter, graphic artist and scientist who was known throughout Europe during his lifetime. A visit to Albrecht Dürer's living room, kitchen and studio is also a journey into the everyday life of an artist in the 16th century.

Unfortunately there are only copies of the paintings here. If you want to see Albrecht Dürer's originals, you have to go to Munich 😐. Children's tours are also offered.

The oldest beams in the house on the corner of the former Zistelgasse and the square in front of the Tiergärtner Tor could be dendrochronologically dated to 1418, which suggests the erection of the stately building around 1420. It has four floors, of which the lower two are built in sandstone and the upper two are built in half-timbering. The half-hipped roof carries a dwelling on the street side. It was reconstructed in the 19th century because it was suspected, probably wrongly, that Dürer's workshop was there.

In 1501 it was acquired by Bernard Walther, a merchant and astronomer. The current form of the house in the upper floors and in the roof area is essentially due to his conversions. In particular, he had several small windows attached to the "gewergk der astronomey" in the south gable facing the city. There is a contract with the neighbors in the Nuremberg City Archives, which prohibits them from pouring anything out of the new windows onto the neighboring roof. The use of the house as an astronomical observatory can be seen on historical views.
