Schongau Attractions

30km/20mi south of Landsberg, in the Lech valley, lies the picturesque little town of Schongau (pop. 11,000), still partly surrounded by its old walls. On the long Marienplatz in the upper town is the Ballenhaus, an old warehouse of 1515. The parish church (17th-18th C.) has stucco decoration of the Wessobrunn school and ceiling paintings by Matthäus Günther.
