Wallhalla is one of the most beautiful German monuments.This exceptional monument is just a short walk from Regensburg. Nevertheless, many people do not know it at all, and therefore it is not one of the most visited places. But Wallhalla will definitely impress you with its architecture imitating ancient temples and is worth a visit.
Regensburg
Regensburg is a well-known German city. The River Danube flows through it and only nearby is the interesting monument named Wallhalla. Haven’t you heard of it yet? Never mind, I will introduce you to these wonderful places in this article. And when talking about the past, I do not mean I. or II. World War II, but the Romans. Marcus Aurelius had a military camp built here. Even later, the city continued to flourish and was one of the very large and rich. Of course, there are many historical buildings and monuments.
Probably the most famous building of Regensburg is the local cathedral – Regensburger Dom. Its two towers can be seen from far, and it makes it easy to find the city center.
Those who are at least a little interested in mathematics or astronomy might like to visit the death house of Johannes Kepler (German astronomer and mathematician). The others can simply enjoy a romantic walk through Regensburg.
Wallhalla
If you are in Regensburg once, it is a direct obligation to visit one monument only a few kilometers from the city. The monument is Wallhalla. It is not one of the most famous landmarks of Germany, but it will certainly interest you.Wallhall serves as a memorial to important personalities of Germany and is also interesting for its architecture.
This impressive building was built by King Louis I in the 19th century. So, although Wallhall looks like an ancient Greek temple at first glance, it is a relatively new building. Looking from the front to see that it is really large and to build such a monument certainly was not easy.
Wallhall is not only interesting from outside. Inside you will find a museum of prominent personalities of Germany. There are exposed busts of famous German scientists, writers and musicians. If anyone is still involved in the development of Germany in some way, his bust should not be missing in Wallhall.
Although Regensburg is a relatively famous city in Germany, Wallhall is often not known to the Germans themselves. But it is a really interesting place and I really think if you send a picture of Wallhalla to a friend, and you would tell him that it is an Athenian temple, he would have believed you without any problems. if you still have questions, feel free to write me comments ?The other interesting German cities that you can visit near Regensburg are for example Munich or little village named Dinkelsbühl.
