Historic Art Bunker

Why go

The sandstone passages were adapted from 1940 to shelter objects from air raids. Ventilation, heating and drainage turned old cellars into protective storage. Works associated with St. Lorenz, the Frauenkirche and other local collections were kept here, making the bunker a direct link between the city's visible art and the effort that helped it survive.

What to look for

• Sandstone passages run beneath Castle Hill.
• Art protection installations remain in the underground rooms.
• The bunker’s displays connect stored works with Nuremberg’s churches.

Useful to know

• Check the live tour calendar and book a suitable guided visit.
• Combine the underground tour with the castle area above it.
