'' featuring the world's tallest brick tower. Among other Gothic architecture are the churches of ''St. Jodok'' and ''Holy Spirit'', but also the ''Town Hall'' and the ''Ländtor'', the only still existing gate of the medieval fortification. Landshut is also known for a festival celebrated every four years called the Landshuter Hochzeit, commemorating the 1475 marriage of George of Bavaria and Jadwiga Jagiellon. The renaissance era produced in particular the decorated inner courtyard of the ''Trausnitz Castle'' and the ducal '' Landshut Residence'' in the inner town. Baroque churches are represented by the Jesuit church ''St. Ignatius'', the Dominican church ''St. Blasius'' and the church of ''St. Joseph''. Also the medieval churches of the Seligenthal convent and of the Cistercians were redesigned in baroque style. Many old middle-class houses of the past in the Old Town still represent the history of the town from the Gothic times to the Neo-Classicism.
