Why Imperial Castle of Nuremberg matters
The Kaiserburg sits on a sandstone ridge above Nuremberg, a fortress where Holy Roman emperors stayed. Its walls and towers look down on a sea of red roofs, and the garden terrace is a good place for a panorama. Parts of it were damaged in the war and rebuilt.
Talking points
- Emperors stayed here during the Middle Ages
- The view over the red roofs is excellent
- It was rebuilt after wartime damage
