Kaiserburg Museum in Nuremberg, Germany. Visitor information for Kaiserburg Museum tourist attraction in Nuremberg, Germany.

The Imperial Castle crowns the hill about the old town and shares with the GNM the distinction of being Nuremberg's major cultural and historical landmark.

Open to the public are the main building (the "Palas") with the imperial apartments, the Romanesque double chapel, the Deep Well, the Sinwell Tower and an extensive collection of arms and military equipment.

The Kaiserburg Museum is devoted to the architectural, military and political history of a castle which was a focal point of the Holy Roman Empire from the 12th to the 16th century.

Thanks to the Golden Bull (the constitution of the empire) which obliged each newly elected king and emperor to hold his first imperial diet in Nuremberg, the city was visited more than 300 times over the centuries by more than 30 German rulers.

Visitors to Nuremberg should allow plenty of time for exploring the entire castle complex with its historic nooks and crannies, romantic gardens and superb view out over the city
