Properties around Nuremberg The main seat and commercial center of the family was the Haller House in Nuremberg, Karl Street 13–15 (today a toy museum). The only mansion still owned by the family is Grossgründlach Castle north of Nuremberg, a residence of the barons Haller since 1766 when they inherited it from the patrician family Pfinzing. However, over the centuries the family acquired about four dozen estates, mostly with castles or manor houses, around their home town. Between 1337 and 1500 they were the lords of Gräfenberg where alone they built four manor houses. From 1365 until 1540 they owned Malmsbach castle near Schwaig and between 1370 and 1647 Ziegelstein Castle (a neighborhood in the north-eastern outskirts of Nuremberg, with a castle destroyed in 1642). Some of the longest held properties were Kalchreuth (1395–1850) and Puckenhof (at Buckenhof, 1462–1848). In Mögeldorf, an eastern quarter of Nuremberg, they had two houses, the medieval tower house called Hallerschloss (1555–1652) and the Cnopfsches Schloss (1550–1571).
