Craftmen's Courtyard, Craft courtyard near Central Station in Nuremberg, Germany.
The Handwerkerhof features small half-timbered buildings nestled within medieval city walls, housing workshops and stores selling traditional crafts and local products.
Established in 1971 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Albrecht Dürer, this complex occupies the former arsenal site within Nuremberg's last fortifications.
Local artisans maintain traditional craft methods through daily demonstrations of gingerbread making, pottery creation, glass blowing, and metal working techniques.
The courtyard remains open year-round with free admission, located directly across from Nuremberg's Central Station, making it easily accessible for visitors.
The Frauentorturm tower from the 14th century integrates into the complex, offering three distinct water-equipped entrances for convenient access from different directions.
