The city is still surrounded by city walls and moats. With "Google Earth" (or on a simple city map) you can see very clearly how the city has maintained its medieval orientation. The cross gate has survived all stormy times.

Kreuztor

Liebfrauenmünster / Cathedral of Our Lady

Officially the church is called "Zur Schönen Unserer Lieben Frau" (To the Beautiful Our Lady). It was donated in 1425 by the Wittelsbach Duke Ludwig the Bearded. It took about 100 years until the construction of this magnificent late gothic hall church with its slanted towers was completed.

Hochaltar Liebfrauenmünster Ingolstadt

The high altar

The colourful high altar was erected in 1572 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Ingolstadt University by order of the Bavarian Duke Albrecht V. The overall design corresponds to the spirit of the Counter-Reformation and was created by Hans Mielich. It is a change altar with double side wings, which shows only the pictures that just match the church year and therefore contains a large number of pictures.


Asamkirche Ingolstadt, Frontseite

In the Neubaustrasse (old town) there is a hidden baroque jewel to discover: The Asam Church Maria de Victoria.
