Baroque huge basilic. dated to the 17th century and part of the complex in this hill. inside the church is like visiting Rome, with golden stripes on the ceilings/walls, paintings and granite/golden altars. very magnificent.

This is the centrepiece of Kempten! An unmissable landmark in the Hildegardplatz with double tower facade and majestic steps. The interior awes you with baroque architecture, numerous frescos of Andreas Asper, and even one featuring Hildegard herself (which I couldn't spot it, my mistake). The foundation stone was laid in 1652 after the old church was ruined during The Thirty Years' War. Opened in 1670 as a monastery and a parish church, it now acts as a Roman Catholic parish church for the Diocese of Augsburg. It's the place to visit in this city and becomes livelier during the weekend market on Saturdays.

I am giving 5 stars even though I could barely witness this beauty due to restoration. Well, guess I have a reason to come back again.

Was completely blown away by the beauty of this church. Photos does not do it justice. A must for anybody visiting the town of Kempten. Entrance is free so you literally have no excuse not to go. The church is currently undergoing maintenance and may look a little unwelcoming, but it is open (just walk to the door and open it). I will return one more time before my trip is over. I would give it five stars, but because of the limited tourist information available, I can't. I understand however, that the church is not a commercialised attraction, and that it may be costly for the church to provide pamphlets and marketing materials if entrance is free of charge. Still, this is an amazing place. Go, enjoy the artwork, or sit down and say a prayer. This building is an absolute masterpiece. Appreciate it.

Stop by around noon for a break. It was a Sunday they had a mass on walked inside it was spectacular! Quite dreamy. Next to the church food market with a few food trucks around the fountain. Tried a few it was great! Had truffle gnocchi with generous shaving of truffle it was a highlight of the foodie experience. Spoke to one of the truffle specialist they offer truffle hunting tours but we are on. Schedule maybe for next time.
