The town of Lindau Germany is a beautiful little island in the eastern area of Lake Constance of Bavaria. It has a lot of holy history and some landmarks to prove it. It was first named a monk St. Gallen by way of a document written in 882. He thought that there was a nunnery found on the island. The very first inhabitants were of the early Roman Empire based on the ruins that were found. The island got its first church with Saint Stephan’s in 1180. Then the Franciscans founded a monastery on the island in 1224. Visitors can see a few old churches still standing on the island like the Protestant parish Saint Stephen and the Minster of Our Lady.
After driving over one of the two bridges visitors can check into one of a few Lindau hotels and then get out for a walk. There is a museum that is housed inside the Zum Cavazzen mansion. It is set right along the shore of the Lake and is one of the most beautiful homes in the area. The New lighthouse is also a great place to go for more history of the city as well as the best views. It was built in the 19th century and is a splendid hello to the visitors who are coming and going from the harbor. It can be found right along the promenade at the harbors entrance. There is also the old light house which can be found a long the promenade. They call it Mang Tower and it was built in the 13th century. It also offers some great views of the area.
It is also fun to the the Bavarian Lion in the harbor. A great piece of advertising for the Lowenbrau beer. It has been standing in the harbor watching over things for over 130 years.
