Landshut, Medieval city in Lower Bavaria, Germany
Located on the banks of the Isar River, Landshut extends across 65 square kilometers and contains numerous brick buildings from medieval times near the Alps.
Duke Louis I established Landshut in 1204, and the city later became the capital of Lower Bavaria following the territorial division in 1255.
The Landshut Wedding festival occurs every four years to commemorate the 1475 marriage between Duke George of Bavaria and Polish Princess Jadwiga Jagiellon.
The city maintains strong transportation links with Munich, Prague, and Nuremberg through regional trains and benefits from its proximity to Munich Airport.
St Martin's Church in Landshut features the tallest brick church tower in the world, reaching a height of 130.6 meters above the city center.
