Landshut - "Alte Post"

This is the Landständehaus (aka Landschaftshaus), which served as the meeting venue for the Landstände, an ancient kind of parliament. The colorful facade dates to 1599 and shows important personalities from the House of Wittelsbach.

 

After the dissolution of the Landstände in the early 19th century the building was used as a post office - hence the name "Alte Post".
