Bad Wörishofen [IPA: vø:rɪsho:fən] is a spa town in the district Unterallgäu, Bavaria Germany. It is known for the water-cure of Sebastian Kneipp (* 1821, † 1897), a catholic priest, who was living there for 42 years. Many resort hotels and boarding-houses are in the town where guests can be treated in the kind of Kneipp's methods.
The new spa complex out of town is called Therme Bad Wörishofen.
