A Nuremberg insider tip for admirers of architecture

The Unschlittplatz lies at the southern end of the Maxbrücke. Exposed half-timbered constructions, typical Nuremberg bay windows and wooden figurative decoration on the façades give an impression of the architecture of past times. The Unschlitthaus stands out, along with a number of mediaeval houses, a Baroque palace and houses from the 19th century.
