Kempten (Allgäu) Essentials

Kempten (Allgäu) showcases over 2,000 years of history, from its origins as the Roman settlement of Cambodunum to its development as a dual city of competing ecclesiastical and imperial powers. Key landmarks include the St. Lorenz Basilica, the first large Baroque church in southern Germany after the Thirty Years' War, and the underground Erasmuskapelle. This selection spans Roman ruins, medieval fortress remains at Burghalde, and the classicist Zumsteinhaus, illustrating the architectural evolution of one of Germany's oldest urban centers.
