Here's my journal entry for the Basilica: "It is an imposing church with magnificent baroque decoration. Above the altar is a multistoried dome/cupola that is open, airy and graceful. In the choir are four sets of carved wooden choir stalls and many have panels that are pictures of various early scenes. These are by Scagliola. As I was admiring them, a middle-aged gentleman said something to me in German. I explained I didn’t speak German and he walked on only to reappear momentarily and say in English, “A magnificent church, yes?” I agreed with him in my poor German and he smiled and went on his way." There were flowers on the pews that must have been from a wedding the previous day. The effect was lovely. Leave a Comment Directions: Follow the church steeples.

We found ourselves in Kempten on a very warm Sunday morning in May. Couldn't go into the church because they were having Mass; too early to eat; missed the tour at the Residenz so we decided to go for a walk. There was no traffic and few people. Guess they were all at Mass. We wandered the town, through parks, down past the Rathaus on to the river Iller. We walked up Baker's Street and loved it all. The stores have signs that are little works of art. The streets were incredibly clean. The windows had lovely lace curtains. It was all completely perfect. We did finally get back and get into the church, took our tour of the Residenz and had lunch at a beer garden and people appeared on the streets and in the cafes but it was a delightful time to take a morning walk.

 Taken June 2005 by grayfo The Residenz was a Benedictine monastery founded in the 8th century and developed into the Residence of the Duke Abbots of Kempten until 1803. This baroque building with double courtyards includes the “Fürstensaal” (Hall of the Dukes) with its austere stuccowork and the “Prunkräume” (Rooms of State) with gorgeous Rococo decoration which is unique in this part of the country.

Our hotel gave us a map of Kempten which had a walk around the town clearly marked. The weather was cold and snowing but we gave it our best shot, a few refreshment stops on the way. Here's a few photos of our afternoon. Leave a Comment
