St. Lorenz Basilica

There is evidence of a first church from the eighth century and the three-nave late Gothic parish church "St. Lorenz muff Berg" on the hill of the Basilika St. Lorenz, built on the site in the 13th century but burned down in 1478.

[2] In 1632, during the Thirty Years' War, the monastery and church were looted and destroyed by the Swedes and the citizens of the nearby imperial city of Kempten.

[2] Prince-Abbot Roman Giel von Gielsberg commissioned the master builder Michael Beer of Vorarlberg to build a new church to serve the parish and monastery.

In 1969, Pope Paul VI bestowed the honorary title of basilica minor.

[4] In December and January, the Bründl Baroque nativity scene can be viewed on selected dates in the crypt below the choir of the Basilika.
