history
Originally there was a corridor in the place of today's Ludwigtor, which connected the Loreto Chapel, built in 1683, with the Türkheim Castle . This connecting structure was probably built in 1695. An oil painting from the early 19th century in the Heimatmuseum in Türkheim shows this transition with three arcades on the ground floor, four windows on the upper floor and a gable roof .
On the initiative of the Türkheim district judge Franz Xaver Wintrich, the construction of the Ludwigtore began in 1829. The builder, presumably influenced by Leo von Klenze , is unknown. On the occasion of his visit to Türkheim, King Ludwig I drove through the gate on August 30, 1829, and His Majesty ..., authorized ... to be allowed to call this kind of arch the Ludwigstor for all time. Remnants of the former arcade can still be found on both sides of the Ludwigstore.

The Ludwigstor forms the southern end of Maximilian-Philipp-Straße and at the same time the northern end of the adjoining Wörishofener Straße. To the east of the gate is the Loreto Chapel and to the west is the castle. The gate consists of a plastered building painted yellow with white sections on the facade. The north and south sides are designed the same. The two pillars on the right and left are pierced with rectangular passages. These flank the arched gate with archivolt and volute-shaped apex in the middle. The middle arch is a semicircular barrel, the cassettes of which are filled with rosettes. On both sides, above the massive pillars, there are green terracotta laurel wreaths . In the two laurel wreaths the gold-plated monogram L of King Ludwig I is attached with a crown above. The Ludwigstor closes with a triangular gable, which is framed by cornices. The triangular gable rests on a fascinating architrave with a field frieze.
