Dachau, Historic town in Upper Bavaria, Germany
The town of Dachau sits at an elevation of 480 meters above sea level, surrounded by meadows and forests 20 kilometers northwest of Munich.
Dating back to 805 AD, Dachau received market rights in the Middle Ages and gained prominence through the construction of a Renaissance castle by House Wittelsbach.
The town contains multiple museums, art galleries, and historic buildings, including the St. Jakob Parish Church with its 44-meter octagonal tower and 18th-century sundial.
Regular trains connect Dachau to Munich via S-Bahn services, while local buses provide transportation to different sections of the town and neighboring communities.
The Dachau Palace, constructed between 1546 and 1577, stands on a hill offering views of Munich and features a Renaissance-style garden with terraces.
