The castle is the symbol of Nuremberg. It is a double castle and consists of the Kaiserburg and the Burggrafenburg. The earliest buildings date back to the year 1000. Definitely worth a visit.

At the end of the 17th century there was an astrological observatory on the Kaiserburg, from which the sky was observed. In the exhibition at the castle you can still see one or the other old device for this

Great climb to the very beautiful and well-kept castle with many plants that climb the walls. At the top there is also a tower and a viewing platform from which you have a great view of Nuremberg.
