About this piece
Nestled within a breathtaking mountain landscape, the northern part of Passau reveals itself where the rivers Danube and Ilz converge. To the right, at the mountain's base, stands the imposing Niederhaus Castle. Atop the mountain, the majestic Oberhaus overlooks the scene, serving as the historic seat of the bishops of Passau. On the left, the quaint village of Ilzstadt is home to the charming Bartholomew Church.
