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 />
8
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 />

Feldkirch Wine Festival<br />
The Feldkirch Wine Festival hosts about 20.000<br />
„friends of the vine“ each year at the beginning<br />
of July. For over 40 years, this Folk Fest has<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 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 />

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 />
