Tower of the Senses

Nuremberg was one of the centres of the German toy industry. The exhibition shows wooden and metal toys, dolls and doll houses, model railways and modern toys.

Often cited as the oldest residential building in the city, its Romanesque cellars date back to the 12th century, while the upper structure is a prime example of late Gothic architecture. This distinctive medieval tower-house is famous for its ornate oriel window and coats of arms. The building is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.

Built in Romanesque style from the 13th century, with many later Gothic and Baroque additions, and now part of the Evangelical or Lutheran church of Germany, St Sebaldhus is the focus of the north-side old town. In the centre of the church a wooden monument stands over the saint's grave, carved with scenes of his life. The church organ is a modern replacement of the famous original, destroyed by bombing in WW2.
