Southern Castle Garden

5 Derrick Seeto - 2 months ago

The best place in Nuremberg to sit and enjoy the scenery. It’s beautiful and not so noisy and has great views of the outer part of city walls.

The rest of the city doesn’t have nice parks to lie down in.

It's a relatively small garden of Kaiserburg Nürnberg (the Imperial Castle of Nuremberg).

The castle garden that exists today was laid out on bastions which were built on the north and west sides between 1538 and 1545. On the large bastion there is a rose quarter in the form of a square parterre, which is framed by a line of trees, some of which consist of Japanese pagoda trees (or sophora). From there a path leads to the southern part of the garden on the lower bastion. The central rondelle is spanned by a strictly cut tree rondelle made of field maple. They give a very nice shade during the summer, and it should look very pretty when the leaves start to change colors in the fall.

Quite frankly I was not very impressed with the rose garden section because it simply lacked volume and species of blooming roses, but the flower garden was well-maintained and attractive. With nice shade trees in circular formation, it was very relaxing even during the hot sunny early afternoon.

Very nice park with lots of flowers. Even though it is very close to the castle usually there are not too many people around.

From here you can access a short path inside the walls which gives you a very nice view of the old town of Nürnberg. Watch out for a door in the wall and the sign telling you to go left for 18 meters.
