Hofgarten, Baroque garden at Princely Abbey Residenz in Kempten, Germany

The Hofgarten extends across 3.4 hectares of terraced landscapes with varying elevations and different surface areas north of the Princely Abbey residence.

The garden's construction began in 1651 alongside the new Princely Abbey residence, featuring fish ponds and areas dedicated to food production for the court kitchen.

The garden contains stone sculptures and benches with inscriptions commemorating important figures from Kempten's municipal history through the centuries.

The central location near the pedestrian zone makes the Hofgarten accessible for visitors seeking outdoor activities, with large grass areas available for recreation.

A 300-year-old black locust tree, planted around 1740, stands at the garden's center with a trunk circumference of four meters.
