Schlayerturm, Medieval fortified tower in Nürnberg, Germany.
The Schlayerturm stands as a quadratic sandstone structure with an octagonal tent roof, positioned on a small river island at the Pegnitz outflow.
Built between 1419 and 1422 as part of Nürnberg's last city fortification system, this tower originally bore the designation 'Grünes F' and served as a strategic defense point.
The tower appears in historical artworks by Albrecht Dürer and represents typical early Renaissance architecture of the Baltic region within Nürnberg's medieval heritage.
Located near the Maxbrücke and Hallertürlein, the tower is accessible to visitors and registered in Bavaria's monument database as a protected historical structure.
Its position on a river island made it an essential element for protecting against both flooding and enemy attacks along the Pegnitz waterway.
