From the Pegnitz Bridge there is a wonderful view of the Laufer Wenzelsburg Castle.

Unfortunately, the castle is currently scaffolded.

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.
