The foundation stone for the church building was laid in 1652 and the church and monastery complex were in use from 1670. The monastery received the baroque splendor that can still be admired today in the state rooms of the residence in the 18th century. In 1802, Bavarian troops occupied the princely monastery and the imperial city of Kempten, after which the monastery was dissolved and the St. Lorenz Basilica has been exclusively a parish church since then.

The first large church building in southern Germany after the Thirty Years' War (construction began in 1652, master builders Michael Beer and Johann Serro) still impresses today with its magnificent double-tower façade (tower roofs 1900) and the mighty dome above the choir. Inside the St. Lorenz Basilica, the rich furnishings and the altars as well as the carved choir stalls with rare scagliola panels are fascinating.
