The Imperial Castle is Nuremberg's landmark. From the castle, you have a magnificent view of Nuremberg. Even at night, when illuminated, it is beautiful to see. For an even better view of Nuremberg, a visit to the Sinwell Tower at the Imperial Castle is recommended. You can purchase a combination ticket for the museum and the tower. Opening hours and further information can be found on the official website: https://www.kaiserburg-nuernberg.de/deutsch/tourist/oeffnung.htm

Unfortunately, the castle is currently scaffolded.

The pointed-arched Tiergärtnertor consists of a gate tower with a square ground plan, the origin of which is estimated to be from the late 13th century and which had a barbican as an outwork. It was Nuremberg's main gate to the north-west. There the paths to Erlangen, Bamberg, Thuringia and Saxony began. Two upper floors with polygonal bay cores were added in 1516. When the castle bastion was rebuilt in the middle of the 16th century, the outwork disappeared; a driveway has been established to the west, leading through a curved tunnel; the original gate was bricked up. In 1894 the outer gate was greatly enlarged. The Germanisches Museum used the Tiergärtnertor tower from 1852 as a depot for its first exhibits. The Tiergärtnertor is a station on the Nuremberg Historical Mile. Source: Wikipedia

In the Middle Ages, the Roman-German emperors did not rule from a city, but were constantly on the move to meet their vassals, hold court or attend imperial diets. When travelling, the emperor and his court were accommodated in imperial palaces along the travel routes. The Imperial Castle in Nuremberg is one of the most important imperial palaces of the Middle Ages in Europe.

The Walburgis Chapel is located on the grounds of the Imperial Castle in Nuremberg. It formerly belonged to the Burggrafenburg, built in 1192, which was largely destroyed in 1420. The reopening of the newly built chapel took place during a celebratory service in 2011. Together with the Church of St. Clara, it is part of the Catholic parish of "Our Lady."

If you want to enjoy an evening of wine or beer in a beautiful medieval setting, this is the place for you. Many simply bring a place to sit, so the place fills up quickly at dusk.
