The beautiful medieval town, which remains well preserved to this day, was mentioned as a city for the first time in 1218, after Count Hugo von Montfort built the "Schattenburg", a castle which still is the major landmark of Feldkirch. The Schattenburg Feldkirch, the landmark of the city, was built in the 12th century. It served Hugo I from Montfort to secure the city and traffic over the passes to the south and the east and gives us today a view of the world in the early 16th century.
The castle walls, the beautiful castle tower, the ancient areas and the unique inner court provide for a unique medieval atmosphere.
