城は1356年から1360年の間にカール4世によって建設されました。ニュルンベルクとプラハを結ぶ重要な交易路である「黄金街道」沿いの戦略的に有利な場所に位置していました。カール4世は、この地域における自身の権力主張を強化するために、ここを通過地点の城および居城として利用しました。現在では、ニュルンベルク芸術アカデミーの分校が入居しています。

A beautiful covered wooden bridge. Ideal for sheltering from a downpour.

Great view over the city at the foot of the Kaiserburg.

The Kaiserburg lookout point is open all year round, although opening hours vary seasonally. Guided tours are available, providing detailed information about the history and architecture of the castle. For those who prefer to explore the lookout point at their own pace, audio guides are also available in several languages. Admission for adults is minimal, and children under 18 are admitted free.

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

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

The Henkerbrücke, which leads over the northern arm of the Pegnitz (the Henkersteg goes over the arm that flows south past the flea market island), can only be reached through the Henkerhaus Museum. The medieval, half-timbered, two-arched bridge leads from the Henkerhaus to the water tower and the Weinstadl (now a student residence). The original bridge from the 15th century was destroyed in the Second World War. In 1954 it was rebuilt based on old models.

The executioner and his assistant lived here on the outskirts of the city from the 15th to the 19th century. In the former official residence, the "executioner's house", there is an exhibition on Nuremberg's legal history. The half-timbered house next door served as a leper hospital in the Middle Ages. Later, the building now known as the "Weinstadel" was used as a wine warehouse.
