Befreiungshalle Kelheim

Inside the magnificent building you can admire 34 goddess of victory from Carrara marble.Opening hours (ticket sales until 17:15)

The liberation hall on the Michelsberg near Kelheim is one of the most important buildings of the 19th century in Germany. Built by King Ludwig I and designed by Leo von Klenze. It is one of the large, architecturally designed national monuments, in this respect only comparable to the also built by Klenez Walhalla in Regensburg, the Battle of Nations Monument and the Kyffhäuser monument.

Tickets must be purchased in advance at the Visitor Center.
For adults, the entrance costs € 4.50

The tickets are available in the museum shop, which is a bit further away from the Liberation Hall entrance.

The memorial for the victorious battles against Napoleon in the Wars of Liberation 1813 - 1815, commissioned by King Ludwig I, was started by Friedrich Gärtner based on ancient and Christian central building ideas and completed in 1863 by Leo von Klenze according to changed plans.The buttresses of the outer facade crown 18 colossal statues as allegories of the German tribes. The number 18 also symbolizes the date of the Battle of Nations near Leipzig (October 18, 1813), on which Napoleon's troops were crushed by the coalition.The steep climb to the Liberation Hall is best done comfortably with the Ludwigsbahn. The white and blue mini train starts regularly at the Danube ship landing stage. So you not only get to the mountain with ease and enjoy the view of the city, but also learn a lot of interesting things along the way.further information / source:

A visit to the Liberation Hall is definitely worth it. The huge statues inside and the gigantic dome are very impressive. Even my 5 year old daughter was thrilled.
A spiral staircase leads to the "first floor" and has a great view of the floor from above with beautiful patterns. Then, via another spiral staircase, you come to the upper outdoor area with a great view of Kelheim, Danube etc.

If walking on foot you should take something to drink with you.

Memorial hall on the occasion of the victories in the wars of liberation 1815-1817 against Napoleon

On weekends like too much going on for my taste.
But for the view worth the wait.

From here there is a great view of the valley before you enter the liberation hall.

An imposing monumental building that King Ludwig I had built.

Very interesting building. The climb is worthwhile and there is a lot of information about the hall on site.

Very impressive building with a great history behind it

Very interesting hall, elaborately worked. The origin is explained on boards

On weekends like crowded. But worth seeing and great views.

Really an impressive building and well worth seeing

Imposing building embedded in a great landscape👍

Incidentally, the first impression is deceptive: the facade, as can be seen at first glance, does not consist of large-sized stone blocks: during the construction of the hall, King Ludwig I of Bavaria supposedly ran out of money, so the wall became a "simple" brick wall , then plastered and painted with a stone pattern ...
So if you look closely, you can see through these brilliant illusions ...

It's a beautiful tower.
It is open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and watch the sunrise from here.

From above in the round balcony
is nice view of the Danube

Very nice path with an ascent.
The Liberation Hall is very beautiful and interesting, sculptures are very detailed and you should take your time to look at the hall more closely

You just have to be on the Danube, beautiful rocks, good hiking trails, delicious ice cream

Definitely worth seeing.
