trausnitz castle

Climbed the Castle Hill early morning, sunshine, cold fresh air, nice view. It was before opening time, just walked around and asked myself why is it built of bricks and not stone? Amyway nice and impressive castle. Next time get inside...

Outside looked like an amazingly preserved medieval castle but the inside has been rebuilt after the war. Very few parts of the interior are authentic. It had some nice tapestries and great views from the top but with no english tour we didn't understand much and felt a little flat. We were not bothered too much as we got in for free with our bavarian palace 14 day visitors pass

This Bavarian castle is worth the visit - if for no other reason than the photographic opportunities. Sweeping views over the town of Landshut and great architectural lines in the castle itself.Entrance to castle was free when we went and the best part was taking the winding path up from the end of town - all paved and built to keep cattle from using it - a very ingenious design and idea! Driving up to the castle is also easy and parking is free.Great food at the little restaurant in the castle, which has outdoor seating on one of the castle terraces.

Ask if they have an English guide. They didn't have any when we were there, and they have next to no info in English at the museum or for the tour. The German guide was quite good but rushed. The tour could have easily taken 60 minutes, but they had to finish it in 45 and were constantly reminding visitors to hurry up and even skip some tapestry rooms, which made it even more difficult to interpret into English. The best things about the castle are the grounds (on a sunny day) and the view, and you don't have to pay to enjoy them.

This is perhaps unfair as the castle is wonderful, as are the grounds. There are animals, beautiful trees and shrubs, a really interesting museum.... Unfortunately we decided to take our grandchildren there on a cloudy day the week before Easter. By the time we got to the top in a bus, the heavens opened. Despite a sign saying lunch available,, the restaurant was closed. Not good enough! It should be open whatever the weather!

While in München, my friends took me to see this Castle down in Landshut, Bavaria, about 1+ hours south of München.You can drive up to it or walk from the town, it was free entrée when we went and a sunny day in April.We had no time to wait for a tour as it was some 1+ hours to wait.Lot to see in the castle itself and the sites form the ramparts are great,.You can see that St.Martin's Church in Landshut which has the tallest Steeple in the world! made of only all Brick, so when you stand on the rampart of the Castle walls, the steeple is still higher as you will see in one of the photo's.It is defiantly worth a visit if you happen to be in the area.I think that they don't get may tourists other than Locals from the area.Capt.Harry

I visited Trausnitz Castle during the Ritter Festival in September and had the most amazing experience. Apart from a castle in good shape, with beautiful furniture and two interesting exhibitions, the place also featured a lot of atractions, from fights to workshops and puppet-plays for the little ones. Also, it has an amazing view over the city.

Attended the annual Ritter Festival in September and it was absolutely amazing. I felt as if I had been transported back to the middle ages.Trausnitz is the perfect backdrop for the music, food, and events depicting such an event.

The view from Trausnitz issuperb . The restauant served at that time only Flammenkuchen, but that was very good. Inside the museum is very small but nice, with a Wunderkammer, a croom of miracles, which include all the things a rich person has horded and can show to others.The castle itself can only be seen with a tour. Our guide was difficult to understand (we speak German, as we are from Holland), we had a discription in English but the two stories were not the same...

Very interesting but very small, just two rooms, the expositions of the duke's collection of animals, strange things from all over the world. The castle is quite empty, there aren't fresco's and the furnitures so not a lot to see. Very nice the view of the city from the top of the tower

It was nice because they gave me a paper in English to follow along with the tour. The tour guide seemed very knowledgeable. It was rainy that day, so there weren't any vendors like it shows on the website. I was looking forward to buying some items for my Renaissance Faire costume. I would have loved to see the stable also, but it wasn't open to tourists I guess. It is a walk to see the castle, but not too far. Glad I went.

We had a quick guided tour through this castle with its inspiring tapestries in some of the rooms.The view of Landshut from the Soeller room was breath taking.The tour was finished off with dinner in the Burgschaenke where the food was fantastic.

This castle is worth a visit, not the best in Germany, but as I was in the area for business I had a ride over here one evening, nice views as well

If you are staying in the Munich area, this is a short 45 minutes drive to Landshut. I took my three teens (12, 13, 16) and was pleased that children under 18 are free and adults only 5,50 Euro. It is a small gem of a medieval Bavarian castle that was the residence of Otto Von Wittelsbach. Every 4 years they reenact a wedding at the castle, and they were setting up for it to take place in June. It is a guided tour and they have cards in English for you to follow along. I speak German so it was not a problem. My kids did great as it is a short guided tour. They had more fun on the outside of the castle and the forest walk from the parking lot is beautiful. If the weather is good, you could explore the gardens. Also beautiful views of Landshut. If you don't have a lot of time for a lengthy castle tour, this is a perfect one to visit.

castle right in centre of landshut. 5.50 euros adult or you could get a combined ticket for 8 euros which also included the stadt residenz building also in central landshut. tours are advertised in german only but the female guide spoke to us in English too (maybe as it was a small group).
