Executioner's Bridge and Wine Store  

Idyllic as it may seem today – in former days, this quiet place was a noisy manufacturing district. Between the 15th and 19th century, the executioner lived here. In the former executioner's house, an exhibition provides information on Nuremberg's legal history. The half-timbered house nearby served as a hospital for lepers in the Middle Ages. Later the building was used as a wine store, hence its name "Weinstadel".
