ON THE TRACKS OF HISTORY
BURGHALDE KEMPTEN
The “Burghalde” ruins are located directly above the historic town of Kempten. In the Middle Ages, there was a castle at this location; however, in the 18th century, it was destroyed entirely–apart from one tower. The castle was built around 1488 and has been a part of the city ever since.
Since 1950, an open-air stage has been located on the premises, which is used as an open-air cinema or for other city events in the summer. For example, in the middle of May, a medieval artisan market takes place there, where the visitors are entertained by medieval tournaments and jesters.
The “Burghalde” has even more to offer apart from the beautiful view of the alps: The castle museum “Allgäuer Burgenmuseum” is also located on the premises.
AT TH BACHTELWEIHER
