Thank you all for your lovely comments and faves on my Nuremberg shots! Your are all just unbelievably kind and wonderful :-)
So let me bore you with a few more shots of the castle. I was far too busy catching up with my friends and enjoying the last evening with my parents on the Friday to remember taking out my camera anyway...
The Imperial Castle was one of the most important imperial palaces of the Middle Ages. Between 1050 and 1571 it hosted the gatherings of the court and juridicial sessions of all the German emperors and kings of the Holy Roman Empire.
Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa (1123-1190) and his successors built one of the largest castle complexes of the empire on the western rock.
The castle walls and fortifications were renewed in the 1500s and lead you into the city centre along a steep slope.
I love the warm colours of the local sandstone and the rich dark red timber frames but decided to try some monochrome edits too. Let me know what you think!
