The Landau Fortress was a polygonal fortress type in Landau in the Palatinate. The construction work took place between 1688 and 1691. In 1871 the completely outdated fortress was razed after it was downgraded to a depot in 1867. Almost all the systems that are below street level have been preserved. A number of military and residential buildings are still visible today in the city, the lock systems and walls along the rivers, fortifications in parks, including the largest single system, the walls of the fort built in 1702 (with a total wall length of 3.3 km).
