To make a day of it
Ehemaliges Pflegschloss in Velden stands in Velden (Landkreis Nürnberger Land), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
The former Pflegschloss in Velden is an administrative building erected at the southwestern corner of the town's old fortifications, first for the Bavarian ducal authority and later for the free imperial city of Nuremberg. Torn down in 1538, it was rebuilt between 1540 and 1543 and now stands as a solid three-storey structure with a half-hipped roof. Its inner courtyard is flanked by outbuildings, some dating from the 18th century, and sections of the medieval town wall remain nearby. The building, in private hands, has kept largely its original appearance.
