The Kemnat castle ruins are located in Kaufbeuren in the Ostallgäu. The former hilltop castle was built in the 12th century. The high medieval keep has been preserved. In the 1980s there was an extensive renovation and the installation of a covered viewing platform from which you have a wonderful view. Access is free. On boards you will learn a lot about the history of the castle.

Already knew? The everyday name "Römerturm" has no historical meaning. The Kemnat castle ruins show parallels to the Helmishofen castle ruins, which are also located in the Ostallgäu.

At the Römerturm there is a cozy inn in the former castle office building with outdoor seating, where you can enjoy delicious dishes. One recommendation is the apple pie. On the tower itself there is a modern viewing platform with a wonderful panorama from the Wetterstein Mountains to the Tannheim and Lechtal Mountains and up to the Allgäu High Alps. The viewing platform is freely accessible during the day.

Kemnat Castle is the ruin of a spur castle and was the seat of the medieval lordship of Großkemnat. The only thing left of the once important hilltop castle today is the keep, which is erroneously referred to as the "Roman tower" and is marked on maps as the watchtower. It is located in Großkemnat, a district of the eastern Allgäu town of Kaufbeuren about four kilometers from the center. The name of the castle derives from the Latin caminata, which means heated room or building (Wikipedia)
