Imperial Castle of Nuremberg

Nuremberg Castle is a group of medieval fortifications on the sandstone ridge of Nuremberg's historic center. The castle, along with the city walls, is considered one of the most powerful medieval defenses in Europe. In the Middle Ages, Germany had no capital, but the king went from one castle to another. Thus, the castle of Nürnberg became an important imperial castle, and in the subsequent centuries all the German kings and emperors lived in it. The Nuremberg Castle has a history of 1,000 years.

The Nuremberg Castle is open to the public to visit mainly double chapels and museums. The exhibits are nothing but crowns, sceptres, armor, weapons, etc., and there is no surprise in itself. But the museum has a region dedicated to the Holy Roman Empire, which is worth a closer look.

The castle, located on the hilltop at the northern end of Nuremberg, is called the Emperor Castle or the Imperial Castle, also known as Caesar Castle or Nuremberg Castle, which is Nuremberg's most iconic medieval building. Up the ramp, you will soon see the medieval stone buildings. While we were in Nuremberg, it was raining lightly and it was fun to be involved in their city running!

Nuremberg Castle, also known as the Emperor's Castle, is located on a hill on the north side of Nuremberg, Germany, built in the 11th century, and expanded to its present size by the mid-16th century, where every emperor of the Holy Roman Empire lived. Located on a rocky hill, the castle consists of three parts: Caesar's Castle, part Baron's Castle and the municipal buildings in the east of the Imperial City. The castle was destroyed during World War II and was rebuilt after the war and is now one of Nuremberg's important landmarks.

Nuremberg, time fixed in the medieval journey.

Germany's most ancient city. During World War II, about 90% of buildings were destroyed by war; after the war, efforts to rebuild, completely recreate the medieval romantic style.

A very good castle, I am very eager for.

In the Middle Ages, the Emperor's Fort Nuremberg was one of the most important palaces of the Holy Roman Empire. For centuries, it was in the heart of Europe. Now the entire Imperial Fort is an exhibition with the clues of "Emperor, Empire, City", and through the display of precious historical relics in the old castle room, visitors can feel the golden age of Nuremberg and the unique history of the castle from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The Emperor Castle has several attractions, the main one is: 1. The watchtower, up the wooden spiral staircase, can overlook the tower overlooking the city of Nuremberg. In addition, there are pictures of the city of Nuremberg taken from here before and after World War II, showing the destruction of the city and the subsequent reconstruction of the war. 2. Deep well, a well nearly 50 meters deep. It is said that the well was originally built during the castle period to provide a separate water system for the castle. This attraction is open on the hour, the interpreter leads the tourists in, then closes the door, explains it to everyone, and puts a tray with candles deep into the well to let everyone know the depth of the well. Very wonderful! 3. The main body of the castle is now a museum, and you can visit it in one direction. There are many precious cultural relics, king crowns, etc. in the room. In addition, there are still some marks on the walls and floor decorations in the room. 4. The last part of the castle tour is a super-full German Arms History Museum. Displays the evolution and history of armor, swords and other weapons from the 12th to the 19th century. Military fans should not miss it!
