The former royal stables on Landwehrstraße in Kempten (Allgäu) is a building built around 1730 by Prince Abbot Anselm von Reichlin-Meldegg as part of an incompletely built large economic area with three inner courtyards in the northern part of the monastery town . Originally, the new monastery was to be an economic building , which was initially to have one, later two or three courtyards and was to have a unit with the monastery malt house .

The two-storey building is elongated and was partially demolished and renewed in the 19th century and 1968. In 1991 the Alpine Museum and the Alpine Gallery were opened in the building . After the Alpenländische Galerie, housed in the former stables on the ground floor, was closed in 2015, the ground floor is used by the Alpine Museum for special exhibitions, among other things. The orangery and the granary are nearby . In a columned hall of the Alpine Museum, some outstanding exhibits from the Alpine Gallery found a home under the name Shining Middle Ages .

Since the Kornhaus will no longer be used as a museum building for the Allgäu Museum from 2019 , a corresponding museum is to be established in the Marstall.

Monument protection

The building complex is a monument . The description reads:

"Former stables, fragment of the large farmyard in the north of the monastery, elongated two-storey wing with arched portals, transverse wing on Herrenstrasse, built around 1730."
