Main information:

Imperial Castle of Nuremberg

Palas with exhibition »Emperor – Empire – City« and double chapel

 

St Margaret’s Chapel

 

The lower part of the double chapel, the St Margaret’s Chapel, which looks compressed and sombre by comparison with the Imperial Chapel, can only be entered through a portal from the bailey and is not connected to the latter by stairs.

In 1216, which was probably the year the double chapel was completed, Emperor Friedrich II (1194-1250) allocated the St Margaret’s Chapel to the Teutonic Order.

Although St Margaret’s Chapel is not accessible, visitors to the castle can look down into it from the Imperial Chapel.
