Schattenburg, Medieval castle in Feldkirch, Austria
The stone fortress stands at 480 meters above sea level, with its walls rising prominently over the city of Feldkirch in Vorarlberg.
Hugo I of Montfort constructed the castle around 1200, and it remained the residence of Montfort dukes until its sale to the Habsburgs in 1390.
The castle museum spans three floors with eighteen exhibition rooms displaying weapons and artifacts that tell the story of Feldkirch through centuries.
The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 13:30 to 16:00 and on Sundays from 11:00 to 16:00, with guided tours available for families every Sunday.
The name derives from Germanic words 'schatte' and 'schad', meaning protection or shield, reflecting the castle's defensive purpose in medieval times.
