Where to stay in Wöhrd
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Nineteen listed tenement houses stand in Wöhrd, along with two tenement groups and two former craftsmen's houses, which is a denser street fabric than most Nuremberg districts put on the register. St. Bartholomäus anchors the older end. The Wöhrder See is the open side.
Stay here for the water and for a district the register takes seriously.

About Wöhrd
What are the main landmarks in Wöhrd?
Two names lead the list. St. Bartholomäus is the church, and the Red Cross Museum Nuremberg is the one museum, after which the register turns domestic: nineteen tenement houses, two tenement groups and a pair of former craftsmen's houses, all protected as street fabric. That is unusual density.
It is also why Wöhrd looks the way it does from the Wöhrder See.
What is the history of Wöhrd?
The old fabric here is housing. Nineteen listed tenement houses and a pair of former craftsmen's houses put Wöhrd's record in its streets rather than in any single monument, and Bavaria protects them address by address. St. Bartholomäus is the parish anchor.
Beyond the church and the Red Cross Museum Nuremberg, no landmark on the list is singular.
Where is Wöhrd?
Wöhrd lies along the Wöhrder See inside Nuremberg, close enough to Weigelshof that a kilometre and a half separates the two.
Common questions
What is the best area to stay in Wöhrd?
Wöhrd: a room within sight of the Wöhrder See. Weigelshof: a plainer address a kilometre and a half from the Wöhrder See. Nuremberg: the wider city with St. Bartholomäus still walkable.
