Landau Fortress was a polygonal fortification located in Landau in the Palatinate. Construction took place between 1688 and 1691. The completely outdated fortress was demolished in 1871, having been downgraded to a depot in 1867. Almost all of the structures below street level have been preserved. Visible today are numerous military buildings and many residential buildings within the town, the lock systems and walls along the rivers, and fortifications in parks, including the largest single structure: the walls of the fort built in 1702 (with a total length of 3.3 km).
