The formerly extensive, terraced complex on a rock above the town was first mentioned in 1188 in a treaty between Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa and King Alfonso VIII of Castile, in which the marriage between Frederick's son Conrad and Alfonso's daughter Berengaria was agreed upon. Half of the castle with all its appurtenances (mediam partem castri Walrstein cum omnibus suis pertinenciis), along with another 29 Staufian estates, were to be part of the bride's dowry.

The Baldinger Tor (Balding Gate) in Nördlingen is one of the five historic city gates and was first mentioned in 1376. It secured the road toward Würzburg and Frankfurt am Main and was part of the medieval city fortifications. The outer gate was completed in 1406 by Master Wenceslaus, and a new structure was built in 1430 under the direction of the stonemason Conrad Stenglin. Originally, the gate complex resembled the Berger Tor: a rectangular main gate with an almost square outer gate. The tower was five stories high and supported a circular top with a gun parapet and a tent roof. The gate was damaged during the Thirty Years' War, and in 1703 the tower unexpectedly collapsed – presumably due to inadequate repairs. Five people were killed.

The Deininger Gate is one of Nördlingen's historic city gates and a striking example of late medieval defensive architecture. It once served as an architectural model for the neighboring Löpsinger Gate and is notable for its slender construction and curved roof. Unlike the city's other gate towers, the Deininger Gate lacked a gun platform, making it particularly vulnerable to enemy attacks. A memorial plaque commemorates the dramatic events of 1634, when imperial soldiers entered the tower during the Battle of Nördlingen. The defenders were only able to expel them by setting fire to the tower itself. The current structure, with its twelve round-arched windows, dates from the final years of the Thirty Years' War, around 1645/1646. The gate is an impressive testament to Nördlingen's eventful history and a popular stop on the historical city tour.

The Löpsinger Gate was completed in 1379 and originally served as a defensive structure in the north of the city. Today, the gate tower houses the City Wall Museum, which opened in 1987 and documents the history of Nördlingen's city fortifications on six floors.
