Sinwellturm and Deep Well in Nuremberg

The Deep Well (Tiefer Brunnen) is as the name says a deep well — the shaft goes 50 m down solid rock. The well dates from at least the 14th century and is now covered by a well house. The lower stone floors are from 1563 but the half-timbered higher floors are from 1951.
