Amazing things to see and museums

The Kempten museums convince above all because their exhibits differ so much from each other which certainly contributes to the fact that visiting several sights in Kempten will never become a boring chore. The main topic and connecting element of the museums is the historical reappraisal of Kempten’s town history.

The beginnings of the town in Roman times are presented as an open air museum at the excavation grounds in the Cambodunum Archaeological Park. The State Rooms of the Residence are witness to the glamorous era of prince abbots during the time of the double town of Kempten. In the Showroom Erasmuskapelle Kempten’s eventful town history comes to life in a multi-vision show.

The Kempten-Museum in the Zumsteinhaus lets you explore the various eras in different themed rooms.
The private Allgäu Castle Museum deals with Allgäu castles, their construction and their inhabitants.

Beyond the classic sights in Kempten there are a number of places worth seeing within town. You will meet some anyway when walking around town, some are not so easy to detect. Spread across the whole town there are many inviting and beautifully arranged squares.

An absolute MUST is a visit to the Rathausplatz while touring the old town. The historic and southern flair of the square invites you to take refreshments or stay for a while to end the day in these beautiful surroundings.

You can’t miss the Town Hall Fountain – one of many in town that don’t only look beautiful but are historically important. We also recommend that you take some time off to visit the Court Garden during your stroll through town. Centrally located it is a pleasant restful place away from the noises of town.
