뢰텐바흐 안 데어 페그니츠‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 동굴

이 성은 1356년에서 1360년 사이에 카를 4세 황제가 건설했습니다. 뉘른베르크와 프라하를 잇는 중요한 무역로인 "황금 도로"에 전략적으로 유리한 위치에 있었습니다. 카를 4세는 이 지역에서 자신의 권력을 공고히 하기 위해 이곳을 경유지이자 거주지로 사용했습니다. 오늘날 이곳은 뉘른베르크 미술 아카데미의 지부로 사용되고 있습니다.

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

With military character: The Zeltner Castle to protect the hammer mill and the city The first mention of the Zeltner Castle can be found as early as 1336: Konrad Groß acquired the hammer mill, the Gleißhammer mill, which was probably to be protected from raids or attacks by today's Zeltner Castle. The property at that time therefore served more of a military purpose. The city of Nuremberg recognized the strategically favorable location of the castle in front of the city walls and claimed the building in 1370.

The complex belongs to the city of Nuremberg and houses clubs and a cultural shop in the outbuildings. There are rental apartments in the castle building itself. The small but nice Christmas market on the first weekend of Advent in the castle courtyard is highly recommended!

Hidden in the middle of the city but really beautiful 🤩

The Wenzelburg (also: Burg Lauf or Laufer Kaiserburg) is a former imperial residence on an island in the Pegnitz in the Franconian town of Lauf an der Pegnitz in the district of Nürnberger Land.

The castle on the southern edge of the city was built as a compact complex on the comparatively small river island and had to make do with the limited area through clever use of space. As a Bohemian state castle, it fulfilled two functions: it provided the Bohemian king with secure accommodation and it met the ruler's need for representation on the western edge of his New Bohemian territory in front of the gates of Nuremberg. Despite the cramped conditions on the island, the facility was well equipped for these tasks: the defiant keep rises towards the river crossing with a wall thickness of more than 3.50 m. Its original height is likely to have towered over the other components by at least one floor. The main entrance was secured by the gate tower, also known as the "Wenceslas Tower", with a drawbridge and portcullis, flanked on both sides by walls and battlements. This was followed by the double-winged Palas in the north-east corner, which may have had a defensive level on its second floor, which, however, can only be traced back to the Nuremberg owners in the 16th century. https://www.lauf.de/index.php?id=866

An old moated castle which was destroyed in 1943, unfortunately very smeared but was a great building
