possessions of the St. Gallen monastery were
administered. During the 18th century he became
Abbot of the monastery and was responsible for
its marvellous restoration. His coat of arms can be
seen on the façade of the house in Neustadt 8.

Feldkirch-a town of

Ganahl Textile Mill
Vorarlberg boasted a large textile industry in the
18th century because of its proximity to Switzerland.
In the Biedermeier era, many new textile
mills were founded. In 1833 Johann Josef Ganahl
built his mill on the banks of the River Ill. It was
the first mechanised textile mill in the monarchy.
Clessin’sche Stadtapotheke
(Town Pharmacy)
The former „Clessin’sche Stadtapotheke“ is the
oldest pharmacy in Vorarlberg. The pharmacist
Carl Fidel Clessin was mayor from 1823 until
1826. Shortly after the French Revolution he
dedicated a commemorative target to the citizens
of Feldkirch as a reminder of the town`s long liberal
tradition of advertising itself.
Leone House
House number 12 Schmiedgasse features a
unique balcony. The artistic iron railing was built
in 1777 by the business man, Josef Anton Leone.
Gasthof Lingg
In the 19th century this building was the property
of Andreas Griss, whose daughter was married
to the painter Josef Bucher (1829-1883). The
remarkable paintings on the front façade of this
building were added by the Lingg family in 1888.
