History
Of ancient Roman origins, the town was mostly abandoned in the 13th century. The inhabitants moved to a more secure new settlement located kilometers further away at the River Lech, also named Schongau. The old town was rechristened "Altenstadt", meaning "Old City" in German.A significant sight is the Romanesque basilica minor of St. Michael with remains of medieval wall painting and several examples of Romanesque sculpture.
