Ingolstadt Fortress, Military fortress in Bavaria, Germany

The Ingolstadt Fortress extends over two defensive rings with more than 30 outer forts, spanning across both sides of the Danube River.

The fortress complex evolved from its initial construction in 806 as a crown estate into a strategic military stronghold during the late Middle Ages.

The New Castle section of the fortress contains the Bavarian Army Museum, presenting military artifacts and exhibitions spanning multiple centuries.

Visitors can access guided tours of Fort Prince Charles during summer months through arrangements with the Bavarian Army Museum staff.

The Reduit Tilly, constructed between 1828 and 1841, now functions as a dedicated Museum of the First World War on the southern Danube bank.
