The Panorama Altötting

Just a few steps from Chapel Square (Kapellplatz), the Jerusalem Panorama Crucifixion of Christ welcomes visitors to a time journey of the special kind. From the outside, the rotunda looks more like a church. However, the moment you enter the building, walk along the dark narrow corridor and up the wooden stairs to the platform, you will have a unique experience. The 360° Panorama Altötting will captivate you and take you to ancient Jerusalem and the dramatic events taking place there around the year 30 A.D. A descriptive and impressive audio tour will make the illusion perfect.

"All-embracing perspective" - the translation of the word "panorama" - describes this art form very well. The Panorama Altötting is a synthesis of the arts, comprising the circular architecture of the building, the painting of the picture as well as the stage design behind the scenery. Daylight is only used for the Panorama Altötting, which is dimmed at the ceiling and directed towards the canvas. This creates a perfect illusion for visitors and makes them feel like being in the picture themselves. As the Panorama Altötting is the only remaining historical panorama in Germany, it is under monument protection by the Free State of Bavaria and is also a UNESCO cultural heritage site.
