Weinstadel, Medieval heritage building in Nuremberg, Germany
The Weinstadel stands along the Pegnitz River with wooden galleries, metal waterspouts, and connecting to the Henkersteg bridge with its battlement walk.
From 1446 to 1448, the building served as a facility for lepers who received food, clothing, and medical care during three days each Easter period.
The building represents the evolution of medieval architecture in Bavaria, featuring traditional half-timbered construction techniques spanning 48 meters in length.
The structure now functions as student housing, following extensive renovations in 1950 that modified the interior while maintaining the external features.
The building changed functions multiple times, from a leper hospital to a wine storage facility, then a workhouse, and currently student accommodations.
