Landshut

Like a Munich Landshut (originates from the 13 century) lies on the banks of the Isar River. City stretches between two main historical sights: Abbey of Seligenthal and the Trausnits castle.

Altstadt and Neustadt are central squares of the Landshut. Here you can find many shops, cafes and restaurants. Jesuitenkirche (or Church of St Ignaz) which lies in the way out of Neudstadt originates from the beginning of the 17 century. In its interior you can see magnificent Baroque altar which was set here in 1663.

Martinskirche church is interested thanks to the fact that three architects works on it in the one moment. Another interesting fact about this church is that its bell tower considered to be the longest in the world. You can lift to the top of the tower and enjoy the beautiful view of the Landshut below.

One of the most beautiful buildings of the Landshut is a Stadtresidenz (Residence) which located at Altstadt 79 Stadtresidenz consist from the two adjacent buildings. One of them is Deutscher Bau which originates from the middle of the 16 century and the Italienischer Bau which is also dating from the 16 century. Btw, Stadtresidenz is a first palace which was built in the Renaissance style in Germany.

Stadtresidenz has a lavishly decorated façade with the coat of arms of the King Ludwig the Ten of Bavaria. In its interior visitor can see reception hall designed in the Renaissance style and other rooms with frescos of the 16 century.
