The Hangman's Bridge (Henkersteg) was constructed in 1457 as a wooden bridge. Between the 16th and the 19th century, the Nuremberg hangman lived in the tower and the roofed walk above the river Pegnitz.

Kettensteg - Chained Suspension Bridge

Errected in 1824 and suspended on chains covered with wooden beams. It was Germany's first suspension bridge across a river and considered to be a technical masterpiece.

 

Weisbergergasse - Considered to be the most beautiful street.

 

Albrecht Durer's house.

And this cute little Play Mobil figure of Albrecht Durer that my Aunt Renate bought me. Too cute.

We visited the museum and learned a little more about Nurnberg's history. Another beautiful building and beautiful ceiling!
