Visitation of the Virgin Mary (Kempten)
The Roman Catholic Chapel of the Visitation is a hall building with retracted apse in the style of the late Rococo in Kempten district Mariaberg . The chapel is a listed building .
history
In 1768 Balthasar Weegmann from Guggers am Kniebos was allowed to build a new chapel instead of an old one. The chapel was built under Prince Abbot Honorius Roth von Schreckenstein in 1783.
The church was restored in 1932 and again in 2011. The focal points of the measures in 2011 were the replacement of rotten roof beams, a new covering of the roof and a moisture barrier on the outer facade. Of the total costs of € 220,000, the chapel association raised € 30,000 from private donations.
