Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Museum
The Imperial Castle of Nuremberg, also known as Kaiserburg, is a majestic 11th-century castle complex that includes a royal palace and gardens. Perched on a sandstone cliff overlooking the city, it is divided into three parts: the imperial castle Kaiserburg, noble buildings in Burggrafenburg, and other structures to the east in stadtische Burganlage.
One of the most well kept castles for its size and age. Not a lot of English info so prepare to get the audio guide if you want to know more about the castle. Had fun climbing the tower and the views of Nuremberg were unmatched!
Elle F — Google review
Every time, one can find something unseen before. For a quick ride or precise exploration of a certain part, it's a nice place. And, of course, the view from the top is stunning. Climbing the tower will praise you.
Yuriy C — Google review
One of the iconic castles of Germany, with loads of imperial connections, and well worth braving the rather steep ascent (the views are great, too). Part of the fortifications that lure you up are actually the city wall, not the castle proper, but the overall effect is what counts. If you are spendthrift, skip the castle interior (interesting, but nor overwhelming), and definitely do not eat there (much better value can be found around the nearby Dürerhaus or in town).
Bernd B — Google review
Definitely worth the price of admission. Lots of walking so wear good shoes. Make sure to check out the bridge near the bus drop-off point for the best view. No photography once you are inside. The castle is fabulous. There are bathrooms and a small Cafe inside. Get there early to avoid the crowd.
Mike R — Google review
Nuremberg Castle Beautiful castle with great panoramic views of the city! 🏰✨ The climb up gives you a bit of a sweat, but totally worth it once you reach the top — the scenery is amazing. Perfect spot for photos and enjoying the old-town vibe from above.
Subencha P — Google review
Very nice castle situated right in the city centre of Nuremberg. Easy to get to and parking is good. No lines easy to buy tickets. We didn’t visit all the castle due to time. But we did buy tickets to the tower which also give you a free cave tour and the views from the top can’t be beat can see the whole city and castle from above. A lot of stair but worth it. Ticket is €4 for the tower. €14 for all I believe. If your in the city worth a visit you can enter the castle ground for free and many people were doing just that. Cafe there aswell which was very busy.

Great castle with a trove of history and stories. For me a clear 5 star experience. I wished the exhibition were a little more interactive. It's mostly reading long paragraphs and thus a little too time intensive.

The Albrecht Dürer House in Nuremberg is a must-visit for art enthusiasts and history buffs. This timbered Gothic house survived WWII bombing and now houses original etchings and woodcuts by the renowned German Renaissance artist, Albrecht Dürer. The museum offers a glimpse into Dürer's life, featuring a recreated studio and print shop, as well as a gallery showcasing both replica and original works.
An interesting museum, the audio guide is included in the ticket price (€7.5) and is available in Russian. The museum tells the history of the house itself, the story of Dürer and his family, features copies of his works, the preserved kitchen, and reconstructed rooms. I spent an hour and a half there as if in one breath. Highly recommended! If you come at the opening, there are few people and it’s very comfortable.
Irina S — Google review
A charming museum that offers a closer look at the life and work of this talented and self-assured painter. It feels special to visit in his hometown. Although it’s sad that Nuremberg lost many of his original works, the reproductions and the effort of other artists to keep his legacy alive are meaningful and well worth seeing.
Yulan Z — Google review
Albrecht-Dürer-Haus The museum does a great job of presenting its exhibits, even though it’s a bit small — which is understandable given the size of the original house. I especially enjoyed the art gallery section; it was fascinating. The staff were also wonderfully friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better.
Uraiwan S — Google review
This is the house where Albrecht Dürer once lived, though the exhibition makes it clear that almost no trace of the great master's residency remains - yet you get a good introduction to his life and works. You may even try your hand at creating your own art. Can be crowded at times, as the rooms (and especially stairwells) are small.
Bernd B — Google review
A sight that is a "must-see" if you are visiting Nuremberg. We didn't go inside, but from the outside it looks like an ordinary house, of which there are many in the city center. But it is still special, as it is linked to a famous historical figure.
Ermi M — Google review
We loved the English tour with Agnes, the "wife" of Dürer, who presented a very personal insight of the life of the artist while guiding us through the building!

A very impressive historic building once owned by Albrecht Dürer. Plan at least two hours for a thorough tour. It's worth the time to admire the works of this medieval master.

St. Lorenz Church is a restored Gothic church in Nuremberg, Germany, which suffered severe damage during World War II but was rebuilt. The church features impressive interior artwork and a large organ. Visitors can explore the Nuremberg Old Town with a local expert guide to see four beautiful medieval churches, including St. Lorenz Church, and learn about their unique historical stories.
Absolutely beautiful. Historical cathedrals with their spires, intricate side chapels, and impossibly high ceilings are a must-see for me. I just can't imagine praying in one... I'd be too distracted!

St. Lawrence is the Cathedral Church of Nuremberg with twin bell towers. It is located in Alstadt very center surrounded with many market stalls. Church is free to enter with tall classic Gothic arches inside with very few stained glass. WWII devastations miraculously spared the twin towers which only endured minor damages
Dejan B — Google review
Almost a twin of the St Sebald (might be?) but with it's own architectural marvel. In a large market square with farmer market and many open square restaurants
Don D — Google review
St. Lorenz Church is one of the most important Gothic churches in southern Germany and a defining landmark of Nuremberg’s old town. Built between the mid-13th and 15th centuries, it was originally a Catholic church but became Lutheran after the Reformation in 1525. Its twin towers and richly ornamented façade dominate Lorenzer Platz. The church measures approximately 91 meters in length, 27 meters in width, and its towers rise to about 80 meters high — making it one of the largest churches in Bavaria. We didn’t have the chance to go inside, as a concert was taking place at the time of our visit. However, even through the closed doors, the sheer power of the sound resonating from within was striking — a clear reminder of the building’s scale and extraordinary acoustics.
Anna K — Google review
St. Lorenz dominates Nuremberg’s Old Town with its towering Gothic façade and twin spires that seem to pull the eye upward the moment you step into Lorenzer Platz. The intricate stonework of the main portal and rose window is stunning up close, and the scale of the building makes it impossible to miss while exploring the city center. Originally built in the 13th century, the church was heavily damaged during World War II and carefully reconstructed, a reminder of both destruction and resilience in Nuremberg’s history. Inside, it houses important works of art, including Veit Stoss’ soaring wooden Angelic Salutation and stained glass that dates back to the Middle Ages. Even if you only admire it from the square, St. Lorenz offers one of the most striking examples of German Gothic architecture in the region and connects directly to the layered history of the city.

St. Lorenz Church in Nuremberg is a breathtaking example of Gothic architecture that left me in awe. The towering twin spires and the intricate façade draw you in, but it’s the interior that truly captivates. The soaring vaulted ceilings, stunning stained glass windows, and the elaborate sculptures create a space that feels both grand and intimate. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are remarkable, making it easy to lose yourself in the beauty and history of the place. St. Lorenz is not just a church; it’s a masterpiece that speaks to the soul.

The highlight of this church was the tower tour (English tour was 11 AM on Saturday). Not only is it a fun walk up various steps and ladders, but the guides make frequent stops and provide explanations and history along the way. The highlight is when they hand you a rubber mallet and let you ring the half-millenia-old church bell! Great view from the top, too!

It's my second time visiting this complex and I can highly recommend it. This time, I found out that the museum itself has been closed for several years already due to extensive renovations. Unfortunately this wasn't very clear online and when you get there the signage isn't very clear either - we walked right past the containerized ticket booth because when you walk towards the building from the parking lot, you can't see the signage. However, visiting the special exhibition was worth it. It's immensely important to expose yourself to our history - maybe one day we will learn?

Must see museum goes into a very nasty period without overload of information. Most of the presentation is via photographs with written accompanying information in several languages. Basically 2 sections, first is outside and mobility impaired will encounter stairs & irregular topography. Second is inside large flat venue with exhibits spaced to accommodate all people. Highly recommended, but a serious, dark topic may not be good for everyone. Goes beyond the History Channel repetition.

Worth a visit. They are currently renovating and I expect that the updated museum will be excellent. No real signage for the other outdoor paths and buildings. We saw the interim exhibit and it was quite complete. €5 cash to park. Couple this site with the Nuremberg Court Rooms. (Make sure to pay the street parking fee as a whole line of cars got ticketed outside the court room.)

St. Sebald Church, also known as Sebalduskirche Nürnberg, is a stunning Gothic-era Lutheran church in Nuremberg. The church features beautiful stained glass windows, intricate paintings, and an impressive pipe organ. Built from 1225-73, the Protestant St.
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to discover and explore this great church with #Littlefeet. On the occasion of a choir trip to Nuremberg, #Littlefeet and its choir were able to give a small concert in the Sebalduskirche or St. Sebaldkirche during a prayer service together with the Nuremberg Youth Choir. Really impressive! This church is a masterpiece! We were even allowed into the choir of angels and the choir sang the Our Father high up there, so that the visitors down in the nave turned around in amazement and delight ... Before the choir sang a few songs in the nave in front of the altar, we were able to experience the impressive organ. And for those who missed it: Outside next to the entrance is a plaque stating that Johann Pachelbel worked here as an organist from 1695 to 1706. It was a wonderful time in one of the most beautiful churches in Bavaria. The wonderfully painted windows, the altar and the tomb of St. Sebald in particular impress even people who have nothing to do with church culture or the Christian faith. Thanks for this wonderful experience to everyone who made it possible. Thumbs up!

Absolutely stunning; hands down one of the most beautiful churches I’ve visited in Europe. The twin spires dominate the skyline, but it’s the details that stay with you: Romanesque roots blending seamlessly with soaring Gothic architecture, the intricate stone carvings over the portals, and the rich play of light through centuries-old stained glass. Inside, the space is breathtaking. The high vaulted ceilings lift your eyes upward, while the elaborate tomb of St. Sebald, crafted in dark bronze with remarkable detail, anchors the interior with reverence. Each chapel holds its own story, from altarpieces to frescoes, giving you a sense of both faith and history woven together. What struck me most was the atmosphere; it feels both grand and intimate, a living part of Nuremberg’s heritage rather than just a monument. This is a place to linger, to take in the artistry, and to appreciate how much care and devotion went into creating and preserving it over the centuries.

The Saint Sebalds church is the oldest parish church in Nuremberg and houses the relics of the saint who is the patron saint of the city. The church was built in the 13th and 14th century in the Romanesque and Gothic and Late Gothic style which you can see in the details. There are many religious sculptures on the outside of the church too so walk around it

One of the most beautiful churches in Nuremberg. One of the two slender bell towers can be visited, in a guided tour(unfortunately, the guide spoke only German).From the top you have a wonderful 360 degrees view of the town. Take care, there are a lot of wooden narrow and steep stairs and the scheme of the tour it's not one of the best I've ever seen. There are groups that climb and, in the same time, other descend. And all of this on that narrow steps where, in some points, only a person barely can pass.

The Frauenkirche, also known as the Church of Lady, is a Gothic Catholic church in Nuremberg that dates back to 1362. It is one of the most recognizable churches in the city and serves as a backdrop for the famous Christmas Market. The church's pinnacled brick Gothic facade stands out in the Hauptmarkt, Nuremberg's main square. During Christmas, the festive stalls surrounding the church create a magical atmosphere reminiscent of a European holiday movie.
The Frauenkirche in Nuremberg is a stunning 14th-century Brick Gothic church located on the Hauptmarkt. It's best known for its intricate mechanical clock, the Männleinlaufen, which puts on a daily spectacle at noon, drawing crowds to witness its historical parade of figures. The church's interior offers a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful historical details.
Rob P — Google review
It is the church on main city market square, so it’s guaranteed a lot of attention. Built by 1362 on the site of destroyed synagogue on the order of Emperor Charles IV , this church suffered severe damage in Allied bombing raids in 1945. However iconic facade with mechanical clock has survived and rest of the church was restored by 1955. This clock’s performance at 12pm draws daily stream of visitors to Hauptmarkt. That’s probably also my most vivid recollection from city visit.

The Frauenkirche anchors the Hauptmarkt with its striking Gothic façade, built in the mid-14th century by Emperor Charles IV as an imperial chapel. Its stepped gables and tall tower dominate the square, but what draws the eye is the ornate clock above the entrance. Every day at noon, the Männleinlaufen automaton springs to life, with little figures of prince-electors circling Emperor Charles. It’s equal parts history and spectacle, a reminder that this church was designed to project both devotion and imperial power right in the heart of the city.

The Frauenkirche, also known as the Church of Our Lady, stands as a remarkable testament to brick Gothic architecture in Nuremberg's historic center. Commissioned by Charles IV in the 14th century, its grand presence on the Hauptmarkt exudes an aura of magnificence over the city skyline. Notable for its intricate sculptures and artworks, including the renowned Tucher Altar, the church's significance extends beyond its architectural splendor. Serving as a venue for imperial ceremonies, it features a modest exterior adorned with coats of arms symbolizing the Holy Roman Empire and other dignitaries. Inside, visitors are greeted by traditional Gothic elements such as a narrow nave and vaulted ceilings, along with treasures from the Middle Ages. Among its most captivating attractions is the Männleinlaufen, a mechanical clock dating back to the 15th century, which comes to life at noon with a procession commemorating the Golden Bull of 1356. Despite undergoing Lutheran conversion in the 16th century, the Frauenkirche continues to enchant visitors with its rich history and cultural significance, making it a must-visit destination in Nuremberg.

Bridge
Henkersteg, also known as Hangman's Bridge, is a charming wooden bridge in Nuremberg with a fascinating history. Built in 1457, it gets its name from the nearby tower where the city's executioner lived during medieval times. The placement of the tower on the outer edge of the original city walls was due to superstitions of that era, which prohibited the executioner from having contact with honorable citizens.

Student dormitory
Weinstadel, situated on the Historical Mile in Nuremberg, is a medieval wine storage warehouse with a rich history. Originally functioning as a hospital for lepers, this iconic structure showcases exemplary German architecture from the Middle Ages. Its half-timber frame and sandstone brick walls, set against the picturesque backdrop of the river, make it an ideal spot for capturing memorable photos. Over time, Weinstadel has served various purposes including a wine store and student dormitory.
It is known as the multi-purpose historic building as it is one of Nuremberg's most beautiful half-timbered houses, used as a wine storage house and a shelter for economically challenged families back in the day. Since the fifties, the building has served as a hall of residence for students it is one of the most romantic and picturesque parts of the Pegnitz. A must visit for taking romantic photos with your partner or family photos with children and parents.

One of the many historical attractions in Nuremburg. It used to be a wine storage facility in the early years and now the university students use it. A good starting point for a walk around the Old Town I would recommend 👍👍🙂
Edward R — Google review
In interesting heritage building in Nuremburg is that of Wienstadel located on the northern bank of the Pegnitz at Maxplatz. This is one of the city's most famous architectural buildings. What you see here is the largest half-timbered house in Germany, originally constructed between 1446-48. At that time, this location was outside the city walls. It was used then a hospice and place to feed lepers in the Middle Ages. In later became an imperial city wine storage location, giving the building its present name - Weinstadel (Wine Storage). Heavily damaged during WWII bombing raids, it was reconstructed in the 1950s providing the version of Weinstadel that you can see today. Good views can be found from Maxbrücke as well as the small street that runs just to the west of this important heritage building.

I didn’t schedule sufficient time for this one which was a mistake. At least half day is needed to allow for a proper look of these exquisite collections. I was amazed but had to glance these marvelous pieces briefly. I will come back if I get a chance to be in Nuremberg again. The staff is very nice and friendly, given that there was less than two hours before closing time, she specifically clarified where the masterpieces were located 😃. But still, every piece is just marvelous.

An absolute must visit for those interested in learning about German history. You need to spend at least a day here to understand the place and it's contents. The astronomy section and the painting exhibits are out of this world. Make sure you pay the entrance fee at the venue itself and dont book online as the vendors apply a 60 pc markup on the entry fee.

The Germanisches Nationalmuseum is a true ode to German history and culture, and well worth exploring. From the grand armoury, filled with cannons, suits of armour, and medieval weaponry through to the intricate carvings and religious artefacts, it’s incredibly easy to lose track of time wandering its halls. One thing that really stood out to me, being English, was the number of artefacts relating to England’s patron saint. Yes, that famous knight of Turkish origin who supposedly slew a dragon and became the protector of England (despite never setting foot in the country) is also celebrated in medieval German society. Absolutely fascinating. This museum also might answer the question, what inspired Starbucks to use a two tailed mermaid as a logo... for those who know, well done. For those who don't, check the pictures. You're welcome So if you ever find yourself passing through Nuremberg with a free afternoon, make a stop. It’s a brilliant way to connect with the deep and layered history of this nation.
Chris G — Google review
This one of those places where you could lose an entire day and still feel like you’ve only skimmed the surface. It’s not just a museum; it’s a labyrinth of European culture, stretching from the Middle Ages to the modern day. Walking past glittering suits of armor, finely crafted weapons, and medieval sculpture, I kept getting pulled deeper into the collections. One moment I was in a Gothic cloister, the next in a Baroque hall surrounded by paintings, then suddenly standing in front of contemporary art. What struck me most was the sheer variety: a 16th-century tiled stove covered in vivid detail, a carved sleigh with a grotesque face, entire chapels reconstructed stone by stone, and galleries that shift seamlessly from religious devotion to modern abstraction. It felt like wandering through centuries of human creativity under one roof. For me, it was overwhelming in the best possible way; a reminder that history isn’t just dates and events, but objects people lived with, prayed before, fought in, and admired. If you enjoy art, history, or simply being surprised around every corner, this museum is a must. Just be prepared: you won’t be in and out quickly.

The Memorium Nuremberg Trials is a museum and educational center located in Nuremberg, Germany. It stands as a tribute to the historic Nuremberg Trials, which were a series of military tribunals conducted after World War II to bring Nazi war criminals to justice for their involvement in the Holocaust and other atrocities. The museum is situated above the original courtroom where the trials took place.
If you appreciate historical landmarks(and are a WWII fanatic like me) then you must come here. The courtroom is accessible and there is a very educational museum above that tells you everything regarding the trials and the aftermath. The texts are in German but the ticket includes an audio guide which gives you a translated transcript. Bear in mind that listening to all the audios / transcripts can take about 2h. Must see.

A beautifully designed museum with excellent use of audio commentary. It is definitely worth a visit.

Visiting the Memorium Nürnberger Prozesse and stepping into Courtroom 600 was an experience that carried real weight for me. Having read and stufied extensively about the trials and World War II history, standing in the very room where leading figures of the Nazi regime were held accountable was more powerful than words can capture. For me, the Courtroom itself was the highlight; the atmosphere, the history embedded in those walls, and the sense of justice that still resonates decades later. The exhibition leading up to it is thoughtfully curated, and for anyone less familiar with the history, it provides crucial context about the crimes, the defendants, and the lasting legacy of international law shaped here. Even with prior knowledge, it deepened the impact of finally seeing the space in person. This is not just a museum visit, it’s a profound reminder of accountability, justice, and the weight of history.

A must for everyone. The exhibition is extremely informative and masterfully arranged, with plenty of anecdotical facts about the perpetrators and the whole process.

Kettensteg, also known as the Chain Bridge, is a historic iron suspension bridge located at the western edge of Nuremberg's old city. Dating back to 1824, it is recognized as Germany's oldest free-floating suspension bridge and a significant landmark in Nuremberg. This pedestrian bridge spans the Pegnitz River and is considered to be the oldest surviving iron chain bridge in continental Europe.
Kettensteg is a pedestrian chain bridge in Nuremberg and one of the oldest free floating chain suspension bridge in Germany. It is a short and easy walk, and the views from the bridge are simply stunning. You can also enjoy the sound of the water flowing under the bridge, and you might even spot some ducks or geese swimming by.

There are several different bridges you can walk to cross the River Pegnitz between the north and south districts of Old Town including this chain bridge located just to the east of Schlayerturm (Schlayer Tower) at the western side of the old wall. This bridge was designed by Conrad Georg Kuppler and constructed in 1824. It has two spans of 68 and 33 metres each and is considered the oldest surviving chain bridge in Europe. The walk across is naturally a bit wobbly but sort of fun. There are fantastic views of the river throughout. Well worth making time to try if interested in Nuremburg's historic bridges.

Ah, the Kettensteg, Nuremberg's own iron suspension bridge and a true marvel of engineering for its time. Constructed in 1824, it stands as Germany's oldest chain bridge, a testament to the ingenuity of bygone eras. It's not just a crossing over the Pegnitz River but a symbolic span connecting the city's industrial past to its present. Getting to Kettensteg is straightforward, especially if you're already exploring the Altstadt (Old Town). It's just a short walk from many of Nuremberg's key historical sites, and certainly worth incorporating into your sightseeing. Beside the bridge lies a garden, a modest yet splendid refuge that I highly recommend. Amidst the foliage and flora, one can find a peaceful moment, a soft contrast to the Kettensteg's more rigid, industrial air. It's an ideal spot for a brief reprieve, perhaps with a book or simply one's thoughts. The Kettensteg is more than a bridge; it's a historical artifact, an architectural marvel, and a quiet space for contemplation all in one. In a city teeming with historical landmarks, the Kettensteg stands out not just for its age but for its enduring relevance and charm.

In Nuremberg, the Wasserturm is a notable part of the city's architectural landscape. This water tower, built between 1320 and 1325, stands as a wall tower in the western section of the city's former fortifications. Connected to the neighboring Weinstadel, it offers a picturesque sight on the north bank of the Pegnitz river.

This is a medieval period water tower that is structurally connected to Weinstadel on the north banks of the Pegnitz just to the east of Maxbrücke. The tower was constructed in 1320-25 and was intended to protect the flow of the Pegnitz. By the 1400's its function became that of a prison. Heavily damaged along with Weinstadel during WWII bombings, the tower was reconstructed in the 1950s and now serves as part of a student residence alongside Weinstadel. You will find fine views of Wasserturm from Maxbrücke, where it sets amongst other impressive historical buildings including the Hangman's house, museum, Henkersteg (Hangman's Bridge) and western tip of Trudelmarkt island.

The tower has loopholes and windows, as well as a hipped roof. It originally protected the Pegnitz River, but lost its function with the construction of the last city fortifications in 1400 and was then used as a prison. (Original) Квадратната кула е построена между 1320 и 1325 г. Долните етажи са построени от ковано желязо , а горните два - от тухли.

Hangman's Bridge (1595) is a fascinating and historic bridge in Nuremberg, Germany. It was built after the flood of 1595 and earned its name from the word "Henker," meaning executioner in German. During medieval times, the executioner had to avoid contact with citizens due to the stigma surrounding their profession. The bridge connects St. Lorenz quarter with Trodelmark Island and offers an awesome view of the medieval surroundings.

Crossing the Henkersteg (Hangman’s Bridge) feels like stepping straight into a piece of Nuremberg’s medieval past. The timber-covered bridge stretches across the Pegnitz with its mossy roof and dark beams, leading your eye toward the half-timbered houses and towers that frame the river. Once, this was the path to the executioner’s residence, secluded at the edge of town due to his profession. That history adds a certain weight to the stroll, though today the bridge is a peaceful passage where you can pause and take in some of the city’s most striking views. Standing here, I felt the layers of history: grim origins transformed into one of Nuremberg’s most atmospheric and beautiful spots.

(Translated by Google) Completely overpriced roasted almonds or candy canes that children buy there with their pocket money because they don't yet have an overview of the market. You can find cheaper offers at the Christkindlesmarkt, 200 meters away. Of course, we know that in such markets a lot is “more apparent than it is” and that supply and demand also regulate the price there. However, when a school class visits there, the stand owner is probably most happy about his “Reibach”. More moderate prices would put less strain on the pocket money of children from lower-income families. Nevertheless, a visit to the children's Christmas is worth it because such a fair makes many children's eyes shine and spreads joy. (Original) Völlig überteuerte gebrannte Mandeln oder Zuckerstangen, die Kinder mit ihrem Taschengeld dort kaufen, weil sie noch keine Marktübersicht haben. Auf dem 200 Meter entfernten Christkindlesmarkt findet man günstigere Angebote. Natürlich weiß man, dass auf solchen Märkten vieles "mehr schein, als sein" ist und auch dort Angebot und Nachfrage den Preis regeln. Wenn jedoch eine Schulklasse dort zu Besuch ist, freut sich vermutlich der Standinhaber am meisten über seinen "Reibach". Maßvollere Preise würden das Taschengeld der Kinder aus einkommensschwächeren Familien weniger belasten. Trotzdem lohnt sich ein Besuch der Kinderweihnacht, weil so ein Jahrmarkt viele Kinderaugen glänzen lässt und Freude verbreitet.

In honor of the then Emperor Charles VI.
David A — Google review
Karlsbrucke (Charles Bridge) interestingly includes two bridges that link the small island of Trodlmarkt in the Pegnitz River to the St. Sebald district in the north and St. Lorenz district in the south within the city centre of Nuremburg. The Upper bridge that you see today dates back to 1728 when a new two-arch sandstone bridge was constructed to replace numerous past wooden bridges which as been at this location during previous centuries. The new bridge was made in honour of Emperor Charles VI from hence it took name. The Lower bridge is older, dating back to the late 15th century, it is also built of sandstone and remains much intact from its original construction. Perhaps most interesting, in the middle of the upper bridge are two obelisk monuments with imperial symbols and decorations of the Emperor. One obelisk is topped with a pigeon while the other an eagle. The two obelisks are surrounded by ornamental gates but you can get very close to look over them and take pictures.

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Fleischbrücke is a late-Renaissance stone bridge over the Pegnitz River, offering scenic views and a photo opportunity at Museumsbrucke. It is 2.5 meters wide and 3.4 meters high, with historical significance dating back to the 16th century. The bridge has survived fires, floods, and even World War II. Visitors can enjoy strolling around the area and may come across open-air markets with beautiful booths of flowers.
Fleischbrücke is one of the oldest and most beautiful bridges in Nuremberg. Its Renaissance stone design gives a strong historic feel as you walk across it. With its location over the river and lovely views of the city, it’s a charming spot for a short visit and great for photos. A small but truly atmospheric gem.

I enjoyed walking across the Pegnitz by way of Fleischbrucke (Meat Bridge) during my recent visit to Nuremberg. This is single-arch structure of Renaissance style that was constructed between 1596-98. It seems it was the largest masonry bridge in Germany at that time. There were Christmas tree style installations on both sides of the middle of the bridge during our recent visit this past December, added nice bit to the holiday theme of the annual Christmas Market taking place throughout much of the city at that time.

Pretty view from bridge and a nice little walk through the gate along the river that leads toward a beautiful church and back to the square

Nice and beautiful place full of historical views. You can't be hungry in this place with several Cafés and restaurants around. The shops ranges from fancy to affordable in the area around. Nice place to visit

Stone arch bridge from the 16th century on the Pegnitz River. The name comes from the Fleischhaus, which was standing nearby. The first construction was built in 1200. Wooden Bridge was destroyed by fire in 1418. Then, it was flooded several times. The last structure from the XVI century survived the II World War.

Not sure how to rate a bridge exactly. It was a quite little spot we passed over the bridge and saw people sitting and enjoying the day. The river was calm and it’s a good place to make silly faces at some ducks. We walked a horseshoe path and popped back around to the market. Definitely a nice walk around the area and the market. Open air market was going on at the same time with wonderful booths setup with hundreds of flowers. If you’re in the area take a walk by, worse thing is you walked a little to see a small bridge.

Nice area to stroll around. But, do want to complain that is not tourist friendly. Name is hard to pronounce, not to mention remember. Not much English sign board or even menu in restaurant. Can't deny is a beautiful place and always some fair or market around the square.
