Liechtenstein Palace

The Palais Liechtenstein is in the city of Feldkirch at Schlossergasse 8.

History of the building

From 1658 to 1697 the building at this address was an archducal hub office and was destroyed in the town fire in 1697. Then, on behalf of Prince Johann Adam Andreas Liechtenstein , the court architect Gallus Apeller built a baroque-style palace and turned it into the Liechtenstein official building . In 1719 the palace became the administrative seat of the Schellenberg rule (1699) and the county of Vaduz (1712). On October 14, 1774, it was sold by the princes of Liechtenstein to church clerk Längle, who bequeathed it to his sister MA Meusburger. In 1808 it was auctioned to Josef Anton Häusle. This was followed by uses as a brewery, inn ("Zur Krone"), spinning mill under Christian Getzner and as the seat of a reading society. In 1848, Andreas Ritter von Tschavoll, then Feldkirch's mayor and manufacturer, acquired the palace. Mayor Anton Gohm later inherited the palace. The palace passed into the ownership of the city of Feldkirch in 1967 and is now used as the city archive and library as well as for exhibitions.

On the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the city of Feldkirch in 2018, the Palais Liechtenstein will also be renovated by around 1.56 million euros from April 2017 to January 2018 and an exhibition on the history of the city will then be shown from March 2018.

Furnishing

The building with a gable roof on the eaves side has a sandstone portal with an architrave-like roof and the central windows on the main floor are suspected of being segmented. The graffiti and frescoed facade bears the coat of arms of the Prince of Liechtenstein. On the 1st floor there is a valuable wooden coffered ceiling.
