Feldkirch Essentials

Feldkirch is defined by its well-preserved medieval architecture and strategic Alpine location. The city's skyline is dominated by the 12th-century Schattenburg Castle and the Gothic Dom Sankt Nikolaus. Defensive structures like the 16th-century Katzenturm and the Wasserturm mark the former city limits, while the nearby ruins of Tosters and Neu-Schellenberg offer glimpses into the region's feudal history. Cultural landmarks include the Baroque Palais Liechtenstein, now an art gallery, and the historic Johanniterkirche, illustrating the town's religious and administrative importance in the Vorarlberg region.
