  • Anyone who thinks the mother tower was once part of Landsberg's city defense is wrong. It was only built in the late 19th century by the graphic artist and painter Hubert von Herkomer in honor of his mother. Today the tower can be booked for all kinds of occasions. Attached to him is the Herkomer Museum, with an important collection of his works. The tower is located in an inviting park. Its golden roof in particular attracts attention from afar.

  • Very well described, by Udo in the open air: the graphic artist and painter Herkomer built it in the late 19th century in memory of his mother.
    The tower and the adjacent Herkomermuseum are located directly on the Lech and in a lush green oasis.
