The oldest preserved secular building in Ingolstadt from the 13th century. The duke's seat before the neighboring New Palace was built, medieval granary and money store. Massive building on the edge of the old town, which today houses the city library. Located on the Danube Cycle Path.

Beautiful non-church building. The Herzogkasten was built around 1255 on behalf of Ludwig the Strict as Pfalz in Ingolstadt.

Housed in the old castle, which looks more like a fortress.

"...Where there is a new castle, there must have been an old castle before. This is very close by: the ducal case from the 13th century. The white building with the stepped gables served as a residence for the dukes of Ingolstadt. End In the 17th century it was converted into a granary. Today it houses the city library..."

The oldest secular building in the city, i.e. the first non-church building on Ingolstädter Grund, is located south of the pedestrian zone and above the theater forecourt and the Danube area. The former ducal palace from the 13th century was part of the medieval castle complex - it strengthened the defensive ring in the southwest of the city wall. The original eight-story building also served as a residence. The Ingolstadt dukes lived here before the New Palace in the east of the old town was completed in the 15th century.
In the further course of its eventful history, the building was used as a granary and city treasury. Since 1981 the Marie-Luise-Fleißer-Bücherei has been the headquarters of the Ingolstadt city libraries.

The Duke's Box was built around 1255 as a palatinate in Ingolstadt on behalf of Louis the Strict, making it the oldest surviving non-ecclesiastical building in the city. It was originally part of a larger complex with several outbuildings around a courtyard.

To the east there is a round city wall tower, also from the 13th century. The stepped gables on the front sides, structured with pilaster strips, were probably only added in the 14th century. Quarry stone and bricks served as the building material for the building, which now has a total of eight floors. Originally it had a different floor layout and a corresponding distribution of windows. The small choir on the western narrow side of the castle shows where the castle chapel once was. When it was completed, the ducal box was located as an additional fortification at the southeastern end of the rectangular first city wall, which bordered the Schutter in the south. In contrast to the smaller buildings of the same name in Abensberg and Kelheim, the building did not initially serve as a granary, but was the palas (residential building) of the residence for the Ingolstadt dukes and their successors until the completion of the New Palace in the 15th century. The conversion to a granary probably only took place at the end of the 17th century.
