- 13 years ago
Take a tour of Nurnberg Castle in Nürnberg, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The city of Nuremberg in the German state of Bavaria houses a stately and imposing castle.
The date of construction for Nuremberg Castle is as yet unknown; however the castle finds its first mention in history in 1105.
The town was founded at the same time, and the two have grown up together.
Many rulers of the Holy Roman Empire lived in the castle for over 500 years.
One of the castle's prominent features is the Sinwell Tower, with its copper top and weathervane.
The famous “Deep Well” in the center of the castle complex is over a hundred feet deep and has been invaluable during sieges.
Like much of Germany, the castle was damaged in the Second World War, but has since reclaimed its former glory.
