Guided Story

Imagine standing in a building that was once transformed into a giant Advent calendar. Look up; those windows were the little doors opened each day in December. Behind you, the Basilica of St. Lorenz—its bells likely rang out many a Christmas tune. This Zumsteinhaus has quite the story. Originally built for the Zumstein merchant family, it housed two different museums until 2015. Did you know it underwent major renovations in 1959? It's a perfect spot to dive into Kempten's fascinating past.
