Turm Schwarzes A, Medieval defensive tower at Nuremberg Castle, Germany.
The sandstone tower rises as a square structure with a central spire and four corner guard towers within the castle fortifications.
Built in 1377 upon earlier foundations, Turm Schwarzes A underwent reconstruction between 1954 and 1955 following damage during World War II.
The tower exemplifies medieval German defensive architecture and maintains its status as a protected monument within the Bavarian heritage system.
Located at coordinates 49.45834, 11.07819, the tower stands within the Nuremberg Castle complex and remains accessible for public visits.
The structure earned its name 'Schwarzes A' through a medieval classification system used for identifying different sections of Nuremberg's fortifications.
