Bayertor
Bayertor stands at the eastern edge of Landsberg am Lech’s medieval old town, where colourful houses and winding lanes meet the former fortifications. Built in 1425, the late Gothic gate rises about 36 metres above the town and once marked the main approach from Bavaria.
Heavy doors and defensive battlements once helped protect this border town between Bavaria and Swabia. Restored figures and plaster preserve the tower’s historic appearance, while neighbouring walls, gates and towers show how the medieval settlement controlled movement through its boundaries.
From the battlements, you can look across the old town and the Lech valley, with the Alps visible in clear weather.
