The Medieval Schattenburg castle, which was once the residence of the Duke of Montfort, sits high above the city of Feldkirch. It houses a restaurant and offers impressive views from the high keep.
Duke Hugo von Montfort, who founded the city of Feldkirch, built the castle in the year 1200 and the various Dukes of Montfort resided here until 1390. Afterwards, the castle was sold to the Habsburgs. Over the years, the castle withstood a variety of wars and took some damage, yet each time it was renovated to keep it standing. Today, it is one of the best preserved Medieval fortresses in all of Central Europe.
