history
Since 1890, Kreuzschwestern have been involved in educational work in Feldkirch, initially in various rental properties. In 1891 a primary and household school was founded, which was given public rights five years later. In 1910/11, today's St. Josef Institute was built as a baroque-style, broadly laid out monumental building with a curved gable slightly out of the middle with a fresco of St. Joseph . The fresco Maria Immaculata on the left wing from 1911 is by Florus Scheel . In the years 1958 to 1965 extensions were built under the architect Werner Pfeifer and expanded in 1982 with the architect Markus Ruhm.
