High above Kelheim and the Danube you can see the impressive Liberation Hall from the bridge. The Bavarian King Ludwig I commissioned the building on the occasion of the victorious wars of liberation against Napoleon.

The hall was inaugurated on October 18, 1863 - exactly 50 years after the victory over Napoleon in the Battle of Nations in Leipzig.

View of Kelheim's city gates

Highlight • Viewpoint

You will see the Altmühltor, the Donautor and the Mittertor, all of which were built in the middle of the 13th century.

In front of the Altmühltor there was a spacious gatehouse, which was demolished in May 1875. This created a spacious space between the gate and the former bridge over the Altmühl. The Mittertor is the western entrance gate to Kelheim's old town and part of the former city fortifications. On its north side, the Donautor bears the first city coat of arms with the city gate and the Bavarian Wecken and, like the Altmühl- and Donautor, allows entry into the old town.

From the 15th century, the Donautor was the seat of the paving duties. If you drive along the Danube Cycle Path, Kelheim is well worth a visit.
