A great building - the entrance to the old town of Ingolstadt. The former brush factory built next to it completes the beautiful ensemble. The Kreuztor, built in 1385, is also the landmark of the city of Ingolstadt.

Asam Church Maria de Victoria A jewel of the Rococo period from 1732 to 1736. The phenomenal ceiling fresco by Cosmas Damian Asam in the church, which is only ten meters high and designed as a hall, is unique. It depicts Mary as Queen of Heaven and mediatrix of divine grace. Organ matinee every Sunday from August to October at 12 p.m. www.erlebe.bayern/listicles/gehenswuerdigkeiten-ingolstadt/#to-4.%20Audi%20Forum
