Mittelweiherburg, Castle and museum in Hard, Austria

The Mittelweiherburg consists of a three-story rectangular building with a steep gabled roof and a round staircase tower on its western side.

Built around 1570 by Hans Christoph Schnabel von Schönstein, the water castle changed ownership multiple times before becoming a cotton factory in the late 18th century.

The museum exhibits showcase the textile printing heritage of Vorarlberg, featuring hand printing techniques and industrial development until the 1930s.

Visitors can explore the museum from April to October on Wednesdays and Saturdays between 17:00 and 19:00, and on Sundays from 10:00 to 12:00.

The building survived two major fires in 1818 and 1827, which led to the filling of its water moat with construction debris.
