Moritz Church and Pfeifturm

Entering the Moritzkirche through the main portal, you will discover on the left side in the choir entrance a beautiful eye-catcher: The Immaculata by Josef Friedrich Canzler is one of the most beautiful Rococo statuettes in the Bavarian region. It blends in beautifully with the festivity of the three-aisled church. The history of the lower parish, as St. Moritz is also known by the long-established Ingolstadt, dates back to the ninth century. It is the oldest church in the city.

The gothic whistle tower, the former municipal watchtower, towers over the actual church tower, where a night watchman lived with his family and ensured the safety of the citizens of Ingolstadt by warning them of approaching enemies or a fire. In this case, the police were first informed. Then a fire bell passed on the agreed signal to the citizens. Today, the Ingolstädter can enjoy more pleasant sounds every other Saturday throughout the summer: The group of whistle blowers plays with traditional melodies.

Ingolstadt is a city with a beautiful city center and many highlights such as Audi Forum, Bavarian Army Museum, Asamkirche and also the Klenzepark.

The whistle tower tours in summer are particularly worthwhile around 7 p.m.
