Landshut Residence, Renaissance palace in Landshut, Germany.

The Landshut Residence combines German and Italian architectural elements across two main buildings connected by lateral wings around a central courtyard.

Duke Ludwig X initiated the construction in 1536, first building the German section before adding an Italian wing after his travels to Mantua.

The palace interior features extensive Renaissance paintings by Hans Bocksberger the Elder and stucco work created by Italian craftsmen during the 16th century.

The residence museum offers guided tours through the Italian Building halls, palace chapel, and Birkenfeld Rooms at Altstadt 79 in Landshut.

The residence contains early French neoclassical wallpaper in the Birkenfeld Rooms, dating from the time when Count Wilhelm von Birkenfeld-Gelnhausen lived there.
