St. Peter's is a historically significant Baroque church in the heart of Neuburg. Reconstructed after its collapse in 1641, it blends harmoniously with the townscape. Inside, the gilded high altar, pulpit, and intricately crafted marble paneling, created in the mid-18th century, are impressive. The organ, built by Maximilian Offner in 1988, complements the Baroque ambience. It is a tranquil place with cultural substance and regional significance.

Anyone in Neuburg an der Donau who doesn't visit the library is missing out. Access is only possible via a guided tour. The visit is well worth it.

Beautiful art right on the river

The Schutter is a left tributary of the Danube, flowing through the Altmühltal Nature Park and the city of Ingolstadt. The name first appears as a settlement name on a 2nd-century inscription: VIK(ani) SCU[T]T(arenses). Nevertheless, the name may be of Germanic origin and related to the verb *skeut-a- "to shoot" in the sense of "fast-flowing, rushing water." Alternatively, it is derived from the Celtic scutar-a = "sandy-muddy body of water." Source: Wikipedia
