The first fortification was built in the 13th century and more than 2 kilometers of it have been preserved to this day

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.

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.

Stay a little up here.😊

City fortifications of Landsberg am Lech The medieval city fortifications of the large district town of Landsberg am Lech (Upper Bavaria) were built in three sections from the 13th to the 16th century and were strengthened during the 16th and 17th centuries. Century reinforced by submitted bastions. The walling, which has been preserved almost completely, together with the historic building stock of the old town, forms an urban ensemble of national importance. The city's first fortifications were probably built towards the end of the 13th century. In 1315 the Lechtor appears in a document. At this time the settlement was probably completely surrounded by walls and palisade walls. In 1315 and probably again in 1319 there were heavy fighting in connection with the conflict between Louis of Bavaria and Frederick the Handsome of Austria.
