Gäubodenfest

Large parts of this city hall were destroyed by a fire in 2016.

Built as a watchtower in the 14th-16th centuries. From the city tower, you can look down on the city, its gabled roofs, churches and towers in the Gäuboden and over the Danube into the Bavarian Forest.

It exhibits the Roman treasure trove of Straubing with a unique collection of Roman face mask and Ross foreheads. It provides a cross-section through the cultures of prehistory and early history and the "Bajuwarenschatz", one of the most important and most beautiful archaeological Early Bavarian sources.

Built in 1907 its interior was totally destroyed by the Nazis in 1938 but the building was spared total destruction unlike most other synagogues in the country. A few objects of the pre-war interior (Torah scrolls, candelabras and so on) were anonymously returned to the police after the war by someone who had somehow safeguarded them during the pogrom and throughout the war.

Duke Albert I began construction in 1356. It is one of the five ducal residences of medieval Bavaria (besides Landshut, Munich, Ingolstadt and Burghausen).

A Romanesque church built in the 12th century.
