Kemnat Castle near Kaufbeuren features a historic well, originally located in the middle of the castle courtyard and now situated 20 meters east of the keep. The well is 26 meters deep and, along with the keep and the administrative building, was the only structure to survive the castle's demolition in 1804. The well is part of the ruins of Kemnat Castle, built in 1185 as a spur castle on a promontory. Although the tower is mistakenly referred to as the "Roman Tower"—a designation originating with the Historical Society of Swabia—it is in fact the keep of the medieval castle.

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. Source: https://www.alpintreff.de/regionen/101468-Burruine-Kemnat/
