A Biking Tour of Landshut's Churches

Hello! Today my son and I hopped on our bicycles and set out to discover the churches in the city of Landshut. We began our tour with the miraculous church of St. Nicholas. Unfortunately, the church doors were currently closed, so we couldn't go inside. However there was a sign next to the church that contained the priest's phone number. And the church had an events program. It's located right in the center of the city, close to Neustadt Street. It looked quite spacious from the outside,but we couldn't get a clear view of the interior.

Another nearby church is the Church of St. Jodok, which is quite tall and eye catching. We tried to visit different churches and museums. The sculptures and artworks were truly fascinating.

The city has many churches and most of them are open to the public. Seeing tall and grand churches like St. Martin's Church is truly impressive. Thinking about the construction methods is an interesting topic. St. Martin's Church was visible from afar.

We cycled along Altstadt Street, one of the oldest streets in the city and enjoyed the scenery. And visited the church at the end of the street, which currently operates as a sculpture museum. Admission was free.

The weather was great for enjoying the taste of autumn. As we explored the city, we continued to discover new things. For example, this house is the kind where you can stop and observe everything. There's a flag hanging on the upper floor and it seems like people live inside. Who knows maybe it has been modernized on the inside.

We lost track of time as we examined everything. This small house was completely run down, very old and had been rebuilt. These wooden beams might be more than 500 yars old and they've added new wooden windows.

It looks like a grain silo or a mill. They produce flour here.

There are many places like this in the city and I call them little chapels. It's interesting to examine and observe them. There's something like a watchful eye looking down on everyone from above and I don't know what it signifies. Please share in the comments if you know.

Another church and this one is quite large as well. Imagine having several such large churches in one city. Somehow, they've built so many churches here. When I last came, I noticed that there were no clocks on the tower's top. Maybe maintenance work was being done. There are large clocks on all four sides now and they seem to have been restored to their places. This church operates every hour and its bells don't disturb the people. You can hear the same bell sound in other churches in this region.

There's another small church along the way, an Evangelical church.

These two yellow buildings were originally built as homes for immigrants coming to Germany. Later they were painted yellow and balconies were added. They didn't have balconies before. Many immigrants live in these buildings.

For now it's time to conclude my writing. Whenever the weather is nice, I try to go cycling and I'll continue to share interesting things. Thanks for reading.
