Points of Interest, Guided Tours<br />

Historic old city and surrounding area<br />

Feldkirch is <strong>Vorarlberg</strong>’s best-preserved example of a medieval city. The<br />

whole of the old part of the city is protected as an historic monument in<br />

order to maintain its rich cultural and historic traditions.<br />

Schattenburg Castle<br />

Feldkirch’s most important landmark was buildt in<br />

1260 to protect the citizens and the town itself.<br />

Schattenburg was the seat of the Count of<br />

Montfort. The Montforts became one of the most<br />

important and powerful aristocratic families of<br />

the region during the middle ages. After the reins<br />

of rule were passed on to the Habsburgs in 1390<br />

important extensions were made to the castle.<br />

The name „Schattenburg“ comes from the middle<br />

high German word „Schade“, which means<br />

„Schutz“ (protection) or „Schirm“ (shield). In<br />

1825, it was put up for sale, at which time the<br />

City of Feldkirch acquired it. Today it houses a<br />

local history museum and a restaurant.<br />

Town Walls<br />

1218 marks the first documentation of Feldkirch<br />

as a city. The town walls were essential to protect<br />

the medieval town, by the 19th century they were<br />

no longer required so early in 1826. So, beginning<br />

in 1826 the great stone wall was dismantled and<br />

Katzenturm Schattenburg<br />

4<br />

used to fill the city moats, upon which the<br />

present roads were constructed. One can still see<br />

remains of the walls at the castle Schattenburg,<br />

at the Katzenturm (Cats Tower) and near the<br />

Diebsturm (Thief’s Tower).<br />

Katzenturm (Cats Tower)<br />

This important part of the city’s fortifications was<br />

built between 1491 and 1507. The name comes<br />

from the cannons (cats) that were stored in the<br />

tower. Today, the largest bell in <strong>Vorarlberg</strong> hangs<br />

in the tower and rings every Friday at 3pm.<br />

Pulverturm, Wasserturm,<br />

Diebsturm<br />

(Powder Tower, Water Tower, Thieves Tower)<br />

On the River Ill there are three towers. In the<br />

north, the Thief’s Tower; on the road to Liechtenstein,<br />

the Water Tower; and in the south opposite<br />

the provincial conservatory the Powder Tower.<br />

They represent some of the best preserved<br />

medieval defense structures in <strong>Vorarlberg</strong>.


Arsenal<br />

Built in 1436, this gothic building was used to<br />

store weapons. In 1647, during the 30-Year’s War,<br />

the Swedes plundered it. Today it is used by<br />

various clubs as their headquarters.<br />

Schloss Amberg (Amberg<br />

Castle)<br />

Probably built in 1502 by the „Stadtammann“<br />

from Feldkirch, it was a favoured spot of the<br />

Emporer Maximilian.<br />

Siechenhaus (Infirmary)<br />

Buildt at the beginning of the 14th century as an<br />

infirmary for the diseased poor. Today it serves<br />

as a youth hostel.<br />

Tosters Castle Ruin and<br />

St Corneli’s Church<br />

The castle was built in the middle of the 13th<br />

century, and was a secondary dwelling held by<br />

the Montforts. During the Appenzell Wars, in<br />

1405, it was destroyed. Below the castle is St.<br />

Corneli’s Church, built in 1178. There is also a<br />

1000 year old yew tree which is under protection.<br />

Half-timbered<br />

construction<br />

Half-timbered houses located in Rosengasse are<br />

worth visiting.<br />

State Conservatory<br />

Provincial Conservatory built in 1900 as a Jesuit<br />

Wasserturm Schloss Amberg<br />

5<br />

boarding school. In 1649 and 1856, a number of<br />

Jesuits came to Feldkirch.<br />

Feldkirch-Seat of the Diocese<br />

For centuries <strong>Vorarlberg</strong> was<br />

partitioned into the three dioceses<br />

of Chur, Constance and Augsburg.<br />

In 1819 <strong>Vorarlberg</strong> became a part<br />

of the Brixen Diocese. Feldkich was<br />

the seat of the General Assistant for<br />

<strong>Vorarlberg</strong>. In 1968, it became its<br />

own Diocese.<br />

St Nikolaus Cathedral<br />

The cathedral was built in 1478 by Hans Sturm, a<br />

stone mason from <strong>Vorarlberg</strong>. The cathedral<br />

contains many notable pieces of art. The pulpit is<br />

a beautiful example of late gothic wroughtiron<br />

work from about 1520 and was formerly used as<br />

a tabernacle. In the altar piece of the right-hand<br />

side chapel is the impressive depiction of the<br />

Lamentation, painted in 1521 by Wolf Huber from<br />

Feldkirch. The modern stained glass windows are<br />

the work of Martin Häusle.<br />

St John the Babtist‘s<br />

Church<br />

The city’s founder, Count Hugo I of Montfort, supported<br />

the Knights of the Order of the Johanniter.<br />

In 1218, he built the Johanniter church, opposite<br />

the „knight’s“ house with hospital and a mill. In


1610 the house fell under the patronage of Weingarten<br />

Cloister, and in 1695, under the patronage<br />

of Ottobeuren. The area within the town to which<br />

the cloister was assigned, was the source of many<br />

arguments. After it was secularized in 1802/1803,<br />

it served as a school. In the 20th century it became<br />

the headquarters of the town’s electricity<br />

works.<br />

The Church of Our Lady<br />

The late gothic single-nave building was<br />

completed in 1473. Between 1672 until 1678, the<br />

church was renovated. This church is characterized<br />

by a shingled, onion tower built above one corner<br />

of the church. Today the building is utilized by the<br />

Serbian Orthodox Church.<br />

Holy Cross Chapel<br />

The chapel on the far side of the River Ill was an<br />

endowment of Count Ruldolf V. of Montfort, the<br />

last of the Montforts. It was built in 1380 in<br />

memory of his pilgrimmage to the Holy Land.<br />

Capuchin Monastery<br />

In 1605 the Capuchin Monastery was buildt<br />

outside the city walls. The monks were brought<br />

into the city as a result of the counterreformation.<br />

The leader of the monastery, Fidelis<br />

of Sigmaringen, was martyred in 1622 and later<br />

canonized. His relics are preserved to this day, his<br />

relics are preserved in the Cloister.<br />

Dominican Monastery<br />

Altenstadt<br />

This women’s cloister was founded in the 13th<br />

century. The baptistery was consecrated in 1442;<br />

its frescos date from the 15th century.<br />

St. Magdalena`s Church<br />

in Feldkirch<br />

This church was built at the same time as the<br />

Siechenhaus at the beginning of the 14th century.<br />

Beautiful frescas date from around 1320 and<br />

sculptures are from local artists.<br />

Feldkirch-An important<br />

administrative center<br />

Town Hall<br />

The Town hall was built between 1490 and 1493<br />

in the central part of the town because the old<br />

town hall on the outskirts of the town was threatened<br />

by floodwaters from the River Ill. Grain<br />

was storage was on the ground floor and the<br />

cloth hall was situated on the second. After the<br />

great fire of 1697 the town hall was rebuilt. The<br />

council chambers and town archives were housed<br />

on the first floor. After 1789, no more goods were<br />

sold from this building. A building and a century<br />

later its function as a granary came to and end.<br />

In the 1930s the building was extended and the<br />

Holy Ghost Hospital was integrated into the town<br />

hall. The frescos on the front façade show the<br />

Feldkirch Letter of Freedom.<br />

Dom St. Nikolaus Liebfrauenkirche<br />

The St. Gallen Administrative<br />

Building.<br />

Bailiffs administered possessions in Feldkirch<br />

belonging to foreign clerics. Michael Gugger of<br />

Staudach was born in this house from which the<br />

possessions of the St. Gallen monastery were<br />

administered. During the 18th century he became<br />

Abbot of the monastery and was responsible for<br />

its marvellous restoration. His coat of arms can be<br />

seen on the façade of the house in Neustadt 8.<br />

State Court and former<br />

State Financal Administration<br />

Art nouveau style built at the beginning of the<br />

20th century.<br />

Liechtenstein Palace<br />

Built after the huge fire of 1697, it was used by<br />

the governors of Liechtenstein as an administration<br />

building. Today houses the town‘s archives,<br />

library, exhibition hall and the tourist office.<br />

Landeskonservatorium<br />

Feldkirch-a town of<br />

commerce<br />

Ganahl Textile Mill<br />

<strong>Vorarlberg</strong> boasted a large textile industry in the<br />

18th century because of its proximity to Switzerland.<br />

In the Biedermeier era, many new textile<br />

mills were founded. In 1833 Johann Josef Ganahl<br />

built his mill on the banks of the River Ill. It was<br />

the first mechanised textile mill in the monarchy.<br />

Clessin’sche Stadtapotheke<br />

(Town Pharmacy)<br />

The former „Clessin’sche Stadtapotheke“ is the<br />

oldest pharmacy in <strong>Vorarlberg</strong>. The pharmacist<br />

Carl Fidel Clessin was mayor from 1823 until<br />

1826. Shortly after the French Revolution he<br />

dedicated a commemorative target to the citizens<br />

of Feldkirch as a reminder of the town`s long liberal<br />

tradition of advertising itself.<br />

Leone House<br />

House number 12 Schmiedgasse features a<br />

unique balcony. The artistic iron railing was built<br />

in 1777 by the business man, Josef Anton Leone.<br />

Gasthof Lingg<br />

In the 19th century this building was the property<br />

of Andreas Griss, whose daughter was married<br />

to the painter Josef Bucher (1829-1883). The<br />

remarkable paintings on the front façade of this<br />

building were added by the Lingg family in 1888.


Ardetzenberg<br />

The very existence of the vineyard on the slopes<br />

of the Ardetzenberg demonstrates the importance<br />

of wine to Feldkirch. The city’s founder, Count<br />

Hugo I of Montfort, contributed to the extensive<br />

cultivation of this vineyard. The first Registry of<br />

Names from Feldkirch is called the „Mistrodel“<br />

(„Mist“ is „dung.“) because every citizen had to<br />

help fertilize these vinyards. Through the<br />

centuries, the vinyards were a good source of<br />

income for the citizens of Feldkirch. In 1839,<br />

Erzherzog Johann (one of the Habsburgs)<br />

mentioned that the wine of the region had a<br />

distinctive „Feldkirch“ flavour.<br />

Feldkirch-Streets and<br />

Bridges<br />

The River Ill and its bridges<br />

In 1537, Feldkirch built a road<br />

through the „Felsenau“ and a<br />

bridge over the River Ill out of its<br />

own funds. It was built to expedite<br />

the flow of goods from Switzerland<br />

through the city, and to collect tolls<br />

for the passage of those goods. In<br />

the middle of the 19th century, the<br />

city saw no need for lights because<br />

the postilions sounded their horns<br />

at night. „No accident can happen<br />

unless somebody’s been hitting the<br />

bottle,“ they said.<br />

St Michael - Tisis<br />

Margarethenkapf Union<br />

Bridge<br />

Carriages from the nearby villages of Toster,<br />

Nofels and Bangs could only reach Feldkirch via<br />

the steep narrow road over Margrethenkapf. Kapf<br />

Street and its bridge across the River Ill were built<br />

in 1884/85. In 1925, the neighbouring villages<br />

were annexed to form Greater Feldkirch. In 1927<br />

the „Vereinigungsbrücke“ (Unification Bridge) was<br />

opened.<br />

Chur Gate<br />

Because Feldkirch was situated on the River Ill, it<br />

enjoyed many commercial advantages. The<br />

transit trade with salt started at the Chur Gate<br />

and continued over the Holy Cross Bridge into<br />

Switzerland. For centuries, this bridge was the<br />

only way to cross the River Ill.<br />

Holy Cross Bridge<br />

Since Roman times a bridge has spanned the<br />

River Ill between Margrethenkapf and Veitskapf.<br />

The Holy Cross Bridge, mentioned in documents<br />

as long ago as 1389 and by the 16th century, at<br />

the latest, was covered by a roof to protect the<br />

stone arches from frost and humidity and<br />

weathering in general. In 1844 the bridge was<br />

renovated and the roof removed. In 1894 the<br />

over-600 year-old bridge was dismantled and the<br />

one still standing was build.<br />

Mühletor (Mill Gate)<br />

Also called „Pig Gate“ because in earlier days the<br />

traditional „Pig market“ was held here.<br />

Pedistrian Shopping Area<br />

Next to historic buildings in the pedistrian shopping<br />

area, arcades shelter shoppers and charm<br />

tourists. Entenbachgasse and Rosengasse are<br />

especially worth visiting.<br />

The construction history of Feldkirch<br />

The centre of the town of Feldkirch is a medieval settlement that was<br />

founded and laid out by the Counts of Montfort at the foot of the Schattenburg.<br />

Feldkirch is first mentioned in a document in 1218.<br />

The main axis of the medieval town consists of<br />

the market square (Marktplatz) and the former<br />

house of the Order of St John of Jerusalem<br />

(Johanniter-Ordenshaus) with St John’s Church. In<br />

the 14th century, the town was expanded<br />

southwards towards the river Ill, the new<br />

“suburb” (Vorstadt) incorporating the site of what<br />

is now Montfortgasse as far as the gate Churer<br />

Tor. There, in 1379, the first town hall was built.<br />

As a junction for trade and traffic routes, the<br />

town possessed great geopolitical significance for<br />

the Habsburgs who had ambitions regarding<br />

Switzerland; but there were also multifarious<br />

links with the regions of Graubünden and northern<br />

Italy. Notable changes were made about<br />

1500 during the reign of the powerful Emperor<br />

and King Maximillian I, when the fortificationswalls,<br />

towers and gates-were extended and the<br />

town attained the appearance that it still today<br />

apart from losses in the 19th and 20th century.<br />

The town with its area of 1.30 km remained very<br />

small for a long time. It bordered directly on<br />

purely agricultural communities like Göfis, Tisis,<br />

Tosters and the larger Altenstadt. Since the citizens<br />

of Feldkirch had capital and were also agri-<br />

13<br />

culturalists, they bought a large amount of land<br />

in neighbouring communities-fields, meadows,<br />

pasture and forestland-and this became the basis<br />

for urban expansion in the 19th century. Just one<br />

hundred years ago the slopes of Ardetzenberg<br />

and Blasenberg still bore extensive and intensively<br />

cultivated vineyards. The early industrial<br />

phase began to emerge around 1800 shortly<br />

after the Napoleonic Wars, which had not left<br />

Feldkirch unscathed. Indeed, the wars had<br />

demonstrated all too clearly how useless the<br />

medieval fortifications were. Largescale new<br />

industrial sites demanded land and better transport<br />

infrastructure. As a result, in the first third of<br />

the 19th century a major part of the city walls<br />

was demolished and the defensive ditches were<br />

replaced by wide streets, lined with new buildings.<br />

Industries such as weaving, spinning and<br />

metal processing spread in the medieval artisanal<br />

area along the Mühlekanal, thus extending from<br />

Felsenau, over Leonhardsplatz and into the Vorstadt.<br />

Change was ushered in by the construction<br />

of the <strong>Vorarlberg</strong> railway (1871) and its extension,<br />

the Arlberg railway, which meant that from<br />

1884 the municipality was connected with the


est of the empire. At this time two branches of<br />

local industry wich had existend since the Middle<br />

Ages, lost their significance-the grain trade and<br />

the salt trade. The population’s outward expansion<br />

became more and more evident in the second<br />

half of the 19th century. Industrialisation and a<br />

building boom led to a rapid increase of the<br />

number of the town’s inhabitants. In this period<br />

the industrialists’ villas were built along the<br />

Bahnhofstraße. The events of 1910 were decisive<br />

for the further development of Feldkirch. In this<br />

year the town suffered catastrophic flooding from<br />

the river Ill, which necessitated substantial urban<br />

alterations: embankments were built along the<br />

Ill, the Kapfschlucht was enlarged and the municipal<br />

sewage system was regulated. These measures<br />

brought the town such prestige that the<br />

surrounding communities were incorporated with<br />

Feldkirch in 1925, giving the town an area of<br />

34.34 km . The 1950s and 1960s saw a great<br />

deal of residential construction, and in the 1970s<br />

the town acquired its distinctive road network<br />

with the Hirschgraben road and Walgaustraße in<br />

the Felsenau gorge.<br />

Buddhist Monastery „Letzehof“<br />

In 1982 the Tibetan spiritual teacher Geshe Rabten Rinpotsche founded<br />

a Buddhist monastery on the former estate of the factory-owner Getzner<br />

family. The monastery is managed by Buddhist monks from Tibet, Mongolia<br />

and Europe and can be visited at any time. The prayer and meditation room<br />

as well as a peace stupa in the grounds of the monastery are open to all.<br />

There are regular public seminars and evening talks on meditation. Guided<br />

tours are also offered. The Letzehof can also be reached on foot from the<br />

town via Liechtensteiner Straße and Duxgasse.<br />

The Feldkirch Wine Festival hosts about 20.000<br />

„friends of the vine“ each year at the beginning<br />

resonated with the sounds of music groups from<br />

the Market Street. Each year, tens of thousands<br />

of glasses of wine and refreshing wine-based<br />

beverages flow at the five „wine islands.“ Every<br />

Feldkirch Festival Feldkircher Weinfest<br />

wine island represents a different wine state of<br />

Austria. The trend of late has been toward<br />

quality, without sacrificing its cosiness. More and<br />

more wines are poured directly from the bottle,<br />

served with suitable accompaniments. If it rains,<br />

the celebration is simply moved under the<br />

arcades.<br />

www.feldkirch.at<br />

little street, street corner, and arcade hosts these<br />

multinational artists for two days. The organizers<br />

work tirelessly to ensure the quality of the<br />

entertainers: No electronic support is allowed,<br />

and the performers must move from place to<br />

place so the spectators won’t miss any of the<br />

highlights.<br />

Feldkirch Wildlife Park<br />

Feldkirch Wildlife Park was founded in 1963 as a non-profit-making<br />

association. Today around 160 animals from 18 different native species have<br />

their home in this spacious wildlife park.<br />

Living in packs, hibernation and other animal habits<br />

Why do wolves live in packs? Where does an eagle build its aerie? What do<br />

groundhogs do in winter? What colour is an arctic hare in summer? Anyone<br />

looking for answers to these and thousands of other questions is warmly<br />

invited to accompany the keepers during feeding or to take part in a guided<br />

tour.<br />

Nature trail<br />

For people with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge there is also a nature<br />

trail in the Feldkirch recreational forest along with the wildlife park. This<br />

has over 70 signs packed with all sorts of information about the forest –<br />

plants and animals, nature‘s cycles, climate and soil conditions. It is open all<br />

year round and is free of charge.<br />

Schattenburg Museum<br />

Today‘s landmark was built around 1260 to protect the town and its<br />

citizens. The castle was the ancestral seat of the Earls of Montfort, who rose<br />

to power in the Middle Ages in the region covered by today‘s <strong>Vorarlberg</strong>.<br />

When command over Feldkirch passed to the House of Habsburg in 1390<br />

important extensions were made by the Habsburgian Reeves. Its name<br />

„Schattenburg“ is derived from the Middle High German word „schade“<br />

which means „protection, shield“. When the castle was surrendered for<br />

demolition in 1825, the town purchased the complex. Today it houses the<br />

Schattenburg Museum and a restaurant.<br />
