Nassauer Haus

The Nassauer Haus or Schlüsselfeldersche Stiftungshaus in Nuremberg is a medieval residential tower made of so-called red castle sandstone.

The name "Nassauer Haus" is the name in use for the corner house only since the 19th century and is based on an erroneous reference to the German king Adolf von Nassau († 1298).

The top floor with its coat of arms frieze and the three pointed-helmeted corner towers was brought into the existing form around 1433 by Ulrich Ortlieb, who is also credited with the choir.

The most important external change is the installation of the round arched openings on the first floor in 1836; one of them was enlarged to a door around 1900.

In the early period, the stone floors of the tower may have had only slit windows or embrasuress and a high entrance, as was customary at the time.

On the second floor there is now a banqueting hall with a rococo stucco ceiling, which originally came from the Ebracher Hof in Adlerstraße, which was demolished in 1901.
