Ingolstadt: 12 Things to Do & See

View from the Kreuztorturm to the Liebfrauenmünster in Ingolstadt

Liebfrauenmünster

The late Gothic cathedral, unfinished due to lack of funds, dominates the cityscape, and can be seen particularly clearly from the city’s “Pfeifturm” tower. The roof truss of the parish church is three times larger than that of Notre-Dame in Paris. Inside, you will find a magnificent folding altarpiece. On certain occasions, the south tower can also be explored by guests.

Asam-Kirche Maria de Victoria

Truly a jewel of the Rococo period from 1732 to 1736. The phenomenal ceiling fresco by Cosmas Damian Asam, in a church hall that measures just ten metres in height, and which is designed as a hall building, is unique. It depicts Mary as Queen of the Heavens and Mediator of Divine Graces. August to October every Sunday at 12 noon, organ matine.
