The Stadtresidenz Landshut is a palace that was constructed in the heart of Landshut's old town under the reign of Duke Ludwig X between the years 1536 and 1543.

The Stadtresidenz Landshut is widely recognized as the earliest work of High Renaissance architecture north of the Alps. It draws heavily on Italian models, particularly the Palazzo del Te in Mantua. This influence is evident in the design and architectural elements of the palace, making it a significant example of the spread of Italian Renaissance architecture beyond Italy.

    The Landshut Residence, located in Landshut, Germany, is a significant historical landmark that offers visitors a glimpse into Renaissance architecture and art. This former ducal palace, built in the 16th century, impresses with its Italian-inspired design and ornate interiors.

    Visitors generally appreciate the well-preserved state of the building and its rich collection of period furnishings, tapestries, and artwork. The guided tours are often praised for being informative and helping guests understand the historical context and importance of the residence. Many reviewers highlight the beautiful frescoes and the intricate details in the chambers and halls.

    The Hall of Italian Stucco-work and the Spanish Hall are frequently mentioned as standout features, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and artistic value. The residence's courtyards and exterior architecture also receive positive comments for their aesthetic appeal.

    However, some visitors note that the tour can be quite long and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues, as there are many stairs to climb. A few reviewers mention that not all areas of the palace are accessible without a guided tour, which can be a drawback for those preferring to explore at their own pace.

    While most find the entry fee reasonable given the quality of the experience, a small number of visitors feel it's slightly overpriced. Additionally, some international tourists point out that not all tours are available in English, which can limit the experience for non-German speakers.

    Overall, the Landshut Residence is generally regarded as a worthwhile attraction for those interested in history, architecture, and art, offering a comprehensive look at Renaissance court life and culture in Bavaria.
