Muhldorf a. Inn: Stadtplatz - Johanniskapelle
Few places in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to the rivalry between the Wittelsbach dukes and the Archbishopric of Salzburg as Mühldorf am Inn. For centuries, the town on the River Inn belonged to the Salzburg archbishops despite being surrounded by Bavarian territory, a position that made it strategically important. The Battle of Mühldorf, fought nearby in 1322, brought Duke Louis IV a decisive victory over Frederick the Fair in the contest for the German kingship. At the centre, the elongated Stadtplatz is lined with arcaded, pastel-fronted houses in the Inn-Salzach style. Johanniskapelle forms part of this historic streetscape, while churches and civic buildings retain the compact scale of an old urban centre.
