Nassauer Haus, Medieval tower in Nuremberg, Germany
The Nassauer Haus stands five stories tall, constructed from red sandstone with a distinctive pyramidal roof at the intersection of Königstraße and Karolinenstraße.
Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, this Romanesque tower house underwent modifications from 1422 to 1437, including the addition of oriel chapels.
The structure represents the evolution of fortified towers into residential spaces, reflecting the influence of trade relations with northern Italian cities.
Located at Königstraße 20 in central Nuremberg, the building houses a pub in its vaulted cellar and stands near other historical landmarks.
The Nassauer Haus remains the last surviving Romanesque tower house in Nuremberg, featuring original medieval architectural elements despite wartime damage.
