Marktgemeinde Rankweil sits beside the Frutz River in Austria’s Vorarlberg, where the Alpine Rhine Valley rises toward the northern Alps. Its defining landmark is the Basilica of Our Lady on Liebfrauenberg, a late-Gothic pilgrimage church whose hilltop setting has shaped Rankweil’s silhouette for centuries. The historic centre reflects the settlement’s longstanding role as a market town, while the surrounding valley combines compact communities, farmland and steep mountain slopes. Rankweil belongs to Vorarlberg’s closely connected Rhine-valley corridor, with both Liechtenstein and Switzerland nearby.
