    Tips

    The Nuremberg Gate (from 1698) is the only one of the four former gates that has survived. The representative magnificent portal is based on the main gate (1662) of the Rosenberg Fortress in Kronach. Two smaller side passages flank the passage above which two lions hold the coat of arms of Bishop Lothar Franz von Schönborn.

    This imposing design was definitely a demonstration of power against the Lutheran areas of the margraviate and the imperial city of Nuremberg, which begin immediately to the south.

    The curtains (walls) adjoining the sides have disappeared, as has the ravelin with the front gate, which was in front and protected direct access to the main gate.
