Gastwirtschaft Schattenburg
Gastwirtschaft Schattenburg is a restaurant housed in an historic stone building in central Feldkirch that also functions as a museum. The establishment serves traditional Austrian cuisine including Schnitzel and local egg noodles called Spätzle, along with hearty soups and fresh vegetable sides on its menu.
The building was originally a castle called Burg Muntifurt founded in the 12th century and initially served the local counts. Over the centuries it changed hands several times, including the Montfort family and later the Habsburgs, until the city of Feldkirch purchased the castle in the 1800s and partially restored it.
The restaurant occupies a historic building that has been central to local life for centuries. Visitors can taste traditional Austrian dishes made with local ingredients, experiencing the flavors that have defined the region's food culture.
The best time to visit is in late afternoon or early evening when fewer guests are present and you can take time exploring the historic setting. Advance reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and holidays when the restaurant fills up quickly.
The restaurant is known for its oversized Schnitzel, a massive crispy pork cutlet that extends beyond the plate's edge and has become the favorite dish of many returning visitors. This exceptional size is renowned throughout the German-speaking region and draws guests wanting to experience this local classic.
