history
Due to the good traffic situation and the necessity of reloading goods onto pack horses, Johann Kaspar Feurstein (* 1612 in Bezau ) built the Zur Gams inn here after 1640 . The guesthouse was run by the Feurstein family for four generations, most recently by Johann Caspar Feurstein, Ammann of the Dornbirn court (1750 to 1757). Shortly after the construction of the inn, a chapel was also built, which was the predecessor of today's parish church in Dornbirn-Haselstauden . This chapel stood opposite the inn and together with the inn formed a new village center in Haselstauden, which still exists today.
In 1843 the inn burned down. The later count's house, which belonged to Hans Bilgeri, was rebuilt on the cellar walls. He sold the town house, which was very generously built by Haselstauder standards, including a park-like garden in 1866 to Anton Maria Franz Paul de Breda, a count from France (born January 25, 1830 at Bertichéres Castle; † December 19, 1891 in Haselstauden), who, due to his royalist attitude had to emigrate from France . De Breda was married to Rita Victoria de la Verga (born October 22 (or May) 1836 in Santander , † February 18, 1900). The only child of the marriage, Beatrix (born December 29, 1863 in Darmstadt , † February 6, 1905 in Munich ), spent part of early adolescence in Haselstauden, was maid of honor of Prince Hohenzollern and dwelt later with a prince from the Family Thurn and Taxis in Bregenz .
At least once, on May 15, 1890, Eugénie de Montijo , wife of Napoleon III, visited. , from 1853 to 1870 Empress of the French and the last monarch of France, the Count's House in Haselstauden.
After the de Breda family died, the house passed to different owners and was used as a residential and rental house . The house was demolished in February 1974 and replaced by two multi-storey, modern residential and commercial buildings from 1974 to 1976.
