It is a three-nave Gothic basilica dedicated to Saint Mauritius with Romanesque elements. The oldest part of the church dates back to the 9th century, the time when the city was founded. Its current condition dates back to 1234, making it the oldest surviving building in Ingolstadt.the church has only one tower of 70m, but it is located directly next on the wall of the whistler tower and behind the rathaus. the entrance ia not from the main street so you have to go behind the rathaus and open a big bronze door. inside the columns are majestic and the altars are from old bavarian gothic style.a must visit.

From the outside, the church stands out with its very different towers. They are not placed next to each other, but rather at the ends. Inside, I particularly like the altar, which is decorated in silver and gold, and the colorful stained glass windows behind it.

Our oldest church. Contemplative and historical.

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
