Until 1708 it was owned by the Nuremberg district administration office and housed the city servant's apartment. At times it was also used as a prison. From 1810 onwards the building was privately owned.

Gräfenberg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful place with neat, painted houses, a café, a fountain and a lot of history! A few panels explain what happened here in 1866 and that Graefenberg received town charter before 1400. A painting is over 500 years old.
