history
At the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century, a three-story mansion was built in the southwest corner of the upper town at a distance from the city wall by an unknown client. In 1539 it belonged to Hans von Wolfurt. In 1647 the house was damaged by the Swedes when they took Bregenz. Johann Albert von Deuring bought it in 1660 and had the manor house enlarged until 1702 by building up the free area between the manor house and the city wall. The gun turret on the southwest corner of the city wall was raised, provided with an onion hood and included in the construction. In 1698 there was an extension on the southeast side and in 1702 the new building of the "Torkel" in the east. The Deuring were rich timber merchants from Bregenz who were raised to knightly nobility in 1621.
The Schlössle remained in the family's possession until 1801. Baron Felix Thaddäus Rüpplein von und zu Keffikon died at that time. He was married to the heir to the Deuring family. The following owners were the governor and district chief Johann Jakob von Vicari and twenty years later kk rentmeister Christoph Anton Kayser, who set up the rent office here. After his death, the Swiss architect Johann Anton von Tscharner-Merhart inherited. In 1915 the interior was redesigned in the style of historicism, and in 1927 the upper floor of the former Torkel was converted into an artist's studio, the so-called knight's hall . From 1989 to 2015 the Deuringschlössle was used as an upscale hotel restaurant.
architecture
The Deuringschlössle and the Martinsturm shape the silhouette of the Bregenz Upper Town. The mighty bastions of the city wall and the round corner tower still show the original defense. The former gun turret was raised octagonally in the 17th century and received a slightly oversized onion hood, in keeping with the spirit of the Baroque. The three-storey main building from the 14th / 15th follows to the northwest of the tower. Century, which received a gable roof during the renovation by the Deuring family. The porch on the north-western front marks the location of the former castle chapel, which was later demolished. The mighty gable front of the main part on the south-east side intersects with the round tower and is followed by a three-storey, narrower side wing. The Anderhalden residence is directly adjacent.
The two courtyard facades show coupled windows with sandstone walls and painted frames from around 1600, which were uncovered in 1989. The alliance coats of arms placed under the windows of the second floor go back to Jakob von Wolfurt, who wanted to document his aristocratic ancestry with them. They were added around 1610. There was a restaurant on the first floor until 2015.
