Landsberg

Landsberg is a town in the Saalekreis region of Saxony-Anhalt, stretching between Halle, Leipzig, and Bitterfeld-Wolfen. The town combines residential areas with open spaces and features the distinctive St. Crucis chapel as an architectural landmark.

The town first appeared in documents in 961 under King Otto I and later became an important seat for the Margraves. This connection to the Margraviate shaped the area's significance across several centuries.

The two-story chapel of St. Crucis dates from the 12th century and displays Romanesque architecture that remains from the former Margrave castle. Visitors can see the stone vaults and details that tell stories of the area's medieval past.

The town is easily reached from the larger neighboring cities of Halle, Leipzig, and Bitterfeld-Wolfen and works well as a stop during regional travel. Visitors find local shops, restaurants, and green areas for walking and exploring.

The Felsenbad is a swimming complex with diving platforms and competition pools that attracts athletes from across the region beyond just local participation. This sports center shows how the town serves as a regional training hub for water sports.
