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

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.

In the Middle Ages and the early modern period, the executioner and his assistant were on the fringes of society, and so the buildings around the executioner's house, which are so impressive today, were home to poorer people during the time of the imperial city. This changed at the beginning of the 19th century. After the last Nuremberg executioner quit his job following the city's incorporation into the Kingdom of Bavaria, it became one of the most popular postcard motifs with the growth of tourism. The exhibition in the executioner's house presents all of these aspects of the building's history and supplements it with basic information on the medieval and early modern legal system.

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.

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.
