The building you see today was built immediately after its destruction in the 2nd Margraves' War. The citizens rebuilt it in record time: Material. Massive sandstone was used, giving the building its characteristic, sturdy appearance to this day. A late Gothic structure with Renaissance influences was created. Particularly striking is the steep timber-framed gable, which was later plastered over. The town hall was much more than just an office for the mayor back then. The open ground floor (the so-called arcades) used to house the bread and meat benches. Bakers and butchers sold their goods here under the protection of the city council. The city council met on the first floor, and justice was administered. The council bell in the turret announced important verdicts or warned of fire. From early on, there was a "council room" in the town hall where the council members were entertained.

The castle was built between 1356 and 1360 by Emperor Charles IV. It was strategically located on the "Golden Road", the important trade route between Nuremberg and Prague. Charles IV used it as a stopover castle and residence to consolidate his claims to power in the region. Today, it houses an external campus of the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Arts.

A beautifully restored medieval building in the center of the market square. Today it serves as a restaurant, where you can sit on the terrace and enjoy the old town.

Beautiful view across the Pegnitz River to the weir at the Schleifmühle. The length of the Industrial Museum is particularly well visible from here. Very atmospheric.
