Reduit Tilly, Neoclassical fortress in Ingolstadt, Germany.
Reduit Tilly is a Neoclassical fortress on the southern bank of the Danube in Ingolstadt, part of the city's larger fortification complex. The structure displays symmetrical design and classical architectural elements characteristic of that era.
The fortress was built between 1828 and 1841 under King Ludwig I, with architect Leo von Klenze designing it as a bridgehead during the modernization of city defenses. This project shaped the development of Ingolstadt's fortifications in the 19th century.
The building now hosts military history exhibitions and serves as a venue for cultural events throughout the year. Visitors experience both historical displays and contemporary activities in this shared space.
The site can be accessed on foot through the Klenzepark area, where parking is available nearby. Visitors should be prepared for uneven ground and outdoor stairs.
The fortress has served as an outdoor performance venue since 2020, hosting theater productions and concerts under the sky. This new function shows how historical structures adapt for contemporary use.
