Landau Fortress was a polygonal fortification located in Landau in the Palatinate. Construction took place between 1688 and 1691. The completely outdated fortress was demolished in 1871, having been downgraded to a depot in 1867. Almost all of the structures below street level have been preserved. Today, several military buildings and many residential buildings are still visible in the city, along with the locks and walls along the rivers, and fortifications in parks. Among these, the largest remaining structure is the wall of the fort built in 1702 (with a length of 3.3 km).
