Museums in Kempten

Kempten, one of Germany's oldest towns, preserves a deep history spanning from Roman times to the Middle Ages. The Archaeological Park Cambodunum showcases the remains of a former provincial capital, including a temple district and thermal baths. In the city center, the Erasmuskapelle reveals underground medieval ruins, while the Kempten-Museum in the Baroque Zumsteinhaus details local social history. Regional heritage is further explored through the Allgäu Castle Museum and contemporary exhibitions at the Kunsthalle.
