Frauentorturm Tower - Free Audio Guide

The Frauentorturm, a prominent feature of the Nürnberg city wall, serves as a historical gateway dating back to at least 1386. Named after the nearby St. Clara Monastery, it features a round tower and was originally fortified with a surrounding moat and three outworks. Today, the tower is a must-visit for tourists, offering a glimpse into Nürnberg's medieval past. The area around the tower includes the Handwerkerhof, a craftsman’s courtyard established in 1971, where visitors can experience local craftsmanship. The site is accessible for pedestrians and provides beautiful photographic opportunities. There are no admission fees, and it is open daily.
