Christmas fair Landsberg am Lech

The Landsberg Christmas Market, an annual highlight on the city's event calendar, opens its doors during the contemplative Advent season, from late November until just before Christmas Eve.

Its picturesque location along the Lech River provides an idyllic backdrop for this Christmas market. Landsberg am Lech, a town in southwestern Bavaria, is steeped in history, shaped by its proximity to the river and by the historic buildings that reflect its storied past. The well-preserved medieval town boasts several original towers, including the renowned Bayertor. The Old Town is dominated by the 15th-century Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary, which impresses with a wooden Madonna and Gothic stained-glass windows. On the main square stands the baroque Town Hall, decorated with intricate frescoes inside.

The market stalls are charmingly arranged around the central landmarks of the Old Town: the parish church, the bustling pedestrian zone, the main square, Rossmarkt, and Infanterieplatz.

A visit to the Landsberg Christmas Market is like strolling through a winter wonderland: handcrafted decorations, nativity accessories, and sparkling jewelry light up visitors' faces. In addition to the beautiful sights, there are also culinary delights: the aroma of mulled wine, savory sausages, and warm chestnuts creates a sense of comfort and warmth.

What makes the Landsberg Christmas Market truly special is the unique blend of historic ambiance and the warmth of the people, who create an unforgettable atmosphere with traditional craftsmanship and regional specialties.

Thanks to the market’s easy accessibility—whether on foot, by bike, or via public transportation—a visit is convenient for everyone.

In conclusion, the Landsberg Christmas Market offers not only an opportunity for holiday shopping but also a place for community, reflection, and immersion in the festive, cozy spirit that is so typical of the Advent season.
