Kaiserstallung
Kaiserstallung stands in Nuremberg, within the Kaiserburg complex on a high sandstone rock above the city. The surrounding fortress once sheltered Holy Roman Emperors and German kings. Hans Beheim designed the building around 1494–95 as a large granary for the city. Imperial visits and diets later brought horses beneath its roof.
Today, the two-storey building houses a youth hostel and guesthouse, combining historic architecture with accommodation. Julius Lincke restored it in the mid-twentieth century. A lounge, dining hall, bistro, bar, seminar rooms, and event hall now occupy the adapted interior. Together with Luginsland Tower, its roofline shapes the distinctive silhouette of the castle front.
