Historic Heart of the Town

Historic

The Hauptplatz, the city's main square, is triangular in shape and the heart of Landsberg and its historic center.

The three main streets of the old town meet here: two coming from the bridges over the Lech River and one going down the steep hill.

From the main square, look around and appreciate the city's rich history. On one side you can see the imposing tower and the gate of the eastern entrance to the city. On the other side, the many houses built during the Middle Ages.

The ornamental Rococo facade of the city hall, the Rathaus, is magnificent.

The city boasts over 500 historic buildings. A short walk from the main square stands the city church with its Baroque onion-shaped towers.

From the square you can see the two towers of the equally magnificent church of the former Jesuit College rising above the city rooftops like a crown.

Right in the middle of the square you can admire the Marienbrunnen, a Baroque fountain made of marble, adorned with a statue of the Madonna.
