Schwandorf, District capital in Upper Palatinate, Bavaria, Germany.

Located at the intersection of the rivers Naab and Regen, Schwandorf extends across 123 square kilometers at an elevation of 366 meters.

The settlement received its first written mention in 1006 as Suainicondorf, later obtaining city rights in 1446 and developing into a regional administrative center.

The Catholic parish church of St. Jakob and the Stadtmuseum Schwandorf preserve the religious heritage and local history of this Bavarian municipality.

The railway station functions as a central transportation hub, connecting regional trains to multiple destinations throughout Bavaria and neighboring regions.

The Schwandorfer Felsenkeller forms Bavaria's largest underground rock cellar labyrinth, featuring an extensive network of historical storage chambers.
