Guided Story
Imagine stepping back in time when horse-drawn carriages clattered along these streets, and this chapel was a quiet retreat for travelers and townsfolk alike. Look up at the impressive dome; it's like it's reaching for the sky. This chapel may be small, but it’s filled with the artistic spirit of Franz Georg Hermann, who left his mark on baroque art in Kempten. Can you feel the profound silence around you? Just next door, where the old Catholic orphanage stands, was Hermann's own home. It's as if his presence still lingers here. Let your eyes wander over the elegant pilasters and imagine the prayers that once echoed within these walls.
