Castles and Towers of Nuremberg

Beyond the famous Imperial Castle, Nuremberg’s landscape is dotted with defensive structures and aristocratic retreats. This collection features medieval gate towers like the 13th-century Weißer Turm and surviving elements of the city's penultimate fortifications. It also highlights the 'Herrensitze'—manor houses belonging to Nuremberg's patrician families—ranging from the Renaissance Pellerschloss to the atmospheric ruins of Schloss Oberbürg and the moated Wolkersdorfer Wasserschloss. These sites reflect the city's strategic military history and the wealth of its merchant nobility.
