City of Feldkirch

The name of the town dates back to the time of Roman settlement, when there were two churches in the field from which "Feldkirch" is derived. The well-preserved medieval center at the foot of Schattenburg Castle, the ancestral seat of the Counts of Montfort, creates a charming ambience for urban life, which thrives on outstanding gastronomy, interesting cultural events and a bustling market. The history of the town, its important role during the Humanist period and its function as a border town through the turn of the century are brought to life in exhibitions, festivities, events, concerts and publications throughout the year.
