Nuremberg Castle (German: Nürnberger Burg) is a group of medieval fortified buildings on a sandstone ridge dominating the historical center of Nuremberg in Bavaria, Germany.

The castle, together with the city walls, is considered to be one of Europe's most formidable medieval fortifications.[1] It represented the power and importance of the Holy Roman Empire and the outstanding role of the Imperial City of Nuremberg.[2]
