Villa Falkenhorst, Protected villa in Thüringen, Vorarlberg, Austria

Villa Falkenhorst is a three-storey villa in a roughly 10,000 m² park in Thüringen, Vorarlberg, built in 1837/1838 for John Douglass, 14th Lord of Tilquhillie. Its style borrows features of English country houses, and it stands on the edge of the Ringelhalde above the village. The main entrance was moved from the south to the north side in 1947–1949, when a bay window and terrace replaced the old south entrance stair.

The villa was constructed between 1837 and 1838 by a British nobleman who also established a textile factory in the area. It represents the industrial development of that era and foreign investment in the region.

The villa serves as a cultural center hosting concerts, exhibitions, and theater performances throughout the year. Visitors can participate in workshops and educational events that bring the space to life as a gathering place for the community.

The villa and its roughly 10,000 m² park stand on the edge of the Ringelhalde in the Flugelin parcel of Thüringen. The association Villa Falkenhorst plans the concerts, readings, theatre and workshops held in the rooms and the large park, while the municipality shares in the upkeep. The main entrance was moved from the south to the north side during the 1947–1949 conversion.

The name Falkenhorst combines Falke (falcon) and Horst (nest of a bird of prey), recalling falcons and jays that circled with wild cries above the slope. The second part also points to the exposed site in the Flugelin parcel at the edge of the Ringelhalde. Official 19th-century papers called it simply the "Wohnhaus"; locals said "Villa".
