Kallmünz: By Alexis Tucker USAG Bavaria community
Afterwards it was pillaged in the mid-1600s. Due to the condition of the castle, many areas have been blocked off due to safety hazards. But don’t let this stop you from getting amazing views. Not only is the castle rich in history, but so is the town. In 1713, the plague hit the nearby town of Regensburg, killing thousands of people. Unfortunately, it swiftly spread to the neighboring villages. The townspeople in Kallmünz were afraid and promised to build a chapel to honor St. Sebastian if they were spared from the plague. The plague passed by Kallmünz without touching the town, and in 1762 the St. Sebastian church was built. You can visit this church. Cross the bridge for the most amazing pictures of the church. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit this enchanting little town.
It’s not hard to fall in love with the town of Kallmünz, located just over an hour from Grafenwoehr. The town’s colorful buildings and reflections cast on the water while crossing the medieval stone bridge are humbling. You would think that the Naab, the river that flows through the town, and the old cobblestone streets would add the final touch to this charming town, but it is actually the swans swiming by and the castle perched on the sleepy hill. Park your vehicle and walk the streets. You will pass multiple statues along the way that will pique your interest. This is largely due to the fact that the town is very popular for their artists, as you can also see when walking past the shops. Scenic sketches and paintings are Sworn on display for sale in the Document windows.
