Feldkirch

Feldkirch sits on the Ill River in Austria’s Vorarlberg, where the valley narrows between Alpine foothills close to Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Its compact old town preserves arcaded streets, market squares and defensive traces from the medieval settlement founded by the Counts of Montfort. Above the centre stands Schattenburg, the former Montfort castle, now home to a regional museum. The Katzenturm, a defensive tower from the late 15th century, recalls Feldkirch’s position on historic routes linking the Rhine Valley with the Alpine interior.
