Historic Churches in Kempten

Kempten’s religious landscape spans centuries, featuring the Basilika St. Lorenz, one of the first major Baroque churches built in Germany following the Thirty Years' War. The collection includes the Gothic Sankt Mang Church with its 66-meter tower and the historic Lenzfried monastic complex. From the modern designs of Matthäuskirche to the Russian Orthodox Seelenkapelle and the heritage-protected Catholic cemetery, these sites showcase the city’s architectural transition from medieval foundations to contemporary ecclesiastical styles.
