A view upstream the Pegnitz river. The building on the left is the Heilig-Geist-Spital, built 1339. The Reichskleinodien (Imperial Regalia) were stored there from 1424 to 1796.
The Schuldturm tower in the center was built in 1323 as part of the town fortifications. As the city grew and new fortifications were built further outside the town, the tower found new use as debtors' prison, thus the name Schuldturm (lit. "debt tower").

The Schürstabhaus on the Sebalder Platz is one of the main medieval attractions around the St. Sebaldus church.
Originally built in the 12th century as two separate buildings, these were soon after connected to form a single structure. The original two buildings can still be noted when counting the floors below the roof on the left (4) and the right side (5) of the building.
In the years 1328–1478 the building was owned by the Schürstab family, which (much) later led to the name of the building. From the 14th through the early 16th century the Schürstabs were an important patrician family in Nuremberg.
The building was damaged in 1943 during am allied bombing raid, the roof structure was destroyed. Only 1995–1997 the building was fully reconstructed and only then it got the name Schürstabhaus.

The top of the Schöne Brunnen, one of the main attractions on Nuremberg's Hauptmarkt market square. This 19 m tall gothic fountain was completed in 1396.
Unfortunately I got only the upper part, as it was market day the lower parts were obscured by market stalls. In the background are the 15th century steeples of the St. Sebaldus church.
