Veste Niederhaus Passaue Germany from the Danube. The Niederhaus is a castle that stands in Passau on the top of the rocky promontory at the confluence of the Ilz and Danube below the Veste Oberhaus . The headland, like the right bank of the Ilzu north of it, belongs to the BschÃÂ¼tt district of the Altstadt district. Passau, a German city on the Austrian border, lies at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers. Known as the Three Rivers City, it`s overlooked by the Veste Oberhaus, a 13th century hilltop fortress housing a city museum and observation tower. The old town below is known for its baroque architecture, including St. Stephen`s Cathedral, featuring distinctive onion-domed towers and an organ with 17,974 pipes.
