Albrecht Dürer's House
Albrecht-Dürer-Haus
The half-timbered house where Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer lived and worked from 1509 to 1528, a well-preserved medieval residence at the foot of the castle.
Visitors can see Dürer's living room, kitchen, and reconstructed studio and printing workshop, where copperplate printing demonstrations take place. The permanent exhibition features reproductions of his famous works, since most originals are held in Munich and Vienna. A Chinese audio guide is available. Admission is about 7.5 euros, and the house is closed on Mondays (open on Mondays from July to September and during the Christmas Market). The Tiergärtnertor Square in front of the house is the most charming corner of the old town, and it fills with people drinking beer on summer evenings.
Opening hours
Tue-Fri 10:00-17:00; weekends 10:00-18:00; closed Mon
