Guided Story
Imagine standing on a fortress that has been overlooking the town for over 800 years. Trausnitz Castle was once the home of the powerful Wittelsbach family, one of Europe's most influential dynasties. Look to your left, where the Kunst- und Wunderkammer is located, it once housed curiosities and treasures brought back from distant journeys. These walls have many stories to tell—from lavish banquets to secret political dealings. If you look up, you can imagine the grand flags that once waved from the battlements. And behind you, in the distance, the old town of Landshut sprawls like a tapestry, offering a breathtaking view that has inspired generations of rulers.
