Towns in East Bavaria High above Landshut: Trausnitz Castle Landshut The ducal town of Landshut emphasises its Mediterranean character with lots of flair and charm, priding itself on being both lively and romantic for shopping and culture lovers alike. Landshut is famous for the faithful re-enactment of the wedding between Duke George the Rich and Polish Princess Hedwig Jagiellonica in 1475, the so-called “Royal Wedding of Landshut”. The Royal Wedding of Landshut takes place every four years and is the greatest historical performance in Europe, with over 2,000 actors! The highest brick tower in the world, the spire of the Church of St Martin, towers over the delightful, pleasant scenery of the historic Old Town. At a height of over 130 metres, it even outdoes Trausnitz Castle, which overlooks the city. The town of Landshut is only about half an hour away from Munich Airport.
