The Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit in Landshut's Old Town is a subsidiary church of the parish of St. Martin. It is owned by the city of Landshut. The three-nave, late Gothic hall church was built between 1407 and 1461 according to the plans of Hans von Burghausen. Since the completion of a major renovation project in 1998, it has been used as a venue for exhibitions of the museums of the city of Landshut, but has not been profaned. The patron saint is celebrated annually with a mass on Whit Monday. Otherwise, there are no services in the Church of the Holy Spirit.
