Illertissen
-
The river Iller has shaped this country town (17,000 inhabitants), situated at the border of Baden-Würtemberg but having already been Bavarian so much longer than other parts of Swabia. Since 1954, Illertissen has been town looking back onto a history of more than 100 years. The renaissance castle of Vöhlin, greeting down of its hill, is the town’s landmark and houses today county court and museum of local history and apiculture. The recently renovated baroque hall and the castle’s chapel are well worth seeing as well. Another particular highlight of the townscape is certainly the parochial church St. Martin. The centuries-old chapel shelters the late-renaissance altar made by master Christoph Rodt (1604) and since April 2006 a big carillon of 49 bells in the tower. This way, the belfry of Illertissen is the first to have such a carillon in Bavaria.
