schattenburg museum

It's a good Wiener Schnitzel, the staff are friendly and it's something a bit special because of the location. Wearth a try.

Had a chance of visiting Schattenburg castle with a few business associates. Could not see the museum since it was closed. However, thoroughly enjoyed the dinner & the views of the Feldkirch area from the castle.On one side of the castle you can view the city while on the other side is a very beautiful view of the hills & valleys. The restaurant serves quality meals. Being a Muslim, we had some fish & vegetarian dishes which were very delicious.

The museum is worth a visit. Located in the Schattenburg Castle, which itself is interesting to visit, perched on its rocky outcrop over the town of Feldkirch, the museum contains an interesting range of local exhibits. The view of the locality from the tower is worth the entry fee.

This place is really nice, but hasn't gone too much into the modern paradigm of interactivity for kids. However in some ways that was also refreshing, and there is certainly a lot to see there, and the area seems to have an interesting backstory. I'd recommend this, but maybe not so much for younger visitors.

I was impressed with the state of the building. It seems that many of the original architectural elements are intact. There is also a trove of weapons, furniture, and art spanning the many years of the buildings existence.

This is a good museum but you REALLY do need a guide to fully explain things, a lovely location and presents a wonderful range of views of the town.

We were lucky to have a local guide who told us all about the castle. The views were amazing. A lot of really old furniture that we wanted to touch until I dug out my phrase book- if they had used the word verboten, then I would have understood.

This is a really good museum but you REALLY do need a guide to fully explain things otherwise it might be really boring if you don't know what you're looking at and will not understand it's significance in Austria's history

This is the real deal - a 900 year old castle in great condition. The museum is worth the small price to pay to walk through history and see how people lived hundreds of years ago. There is a cafe in the courtyard that does not require a fee, but pay the fee and enjoy the castle and keep. This alone is worth the trip to Feldkirch (among many other things).

No one should visit Feldkirch without visiting the Schattenburg, the castle that towers over the city. Even the restaurant there is famed for its enormous 30cm wiener schnitzel. The museum was always interesting, what with climbing up and down and through the various rooms, but a recent renovation has made it excellent.It is small, and limited in what it displays, but it has high quality exhibits, close enough to touch (not behind glass), and nicely placed in the rooms. I would go there before or after lunch (it closes at noon for a couple of hours) and take in the schnitzel in the dining area. Of course, it has great views of the countryside as well.

The museum is housed in an old castle that dominates the town.The tower offers a nice view over the surroundings and 2 rooms with old rifles and other weapons. Other rooms display old furniture and some church icons and sculptures. I liked the children room.

The castle is just a few minutes from the Old Town. It was an interesting stop. The museum was 6 Euros to enter. I have seen better museums. But the views from the museum rooms were lovely. The castle is a good photo opportunity.

An interesting place to visit with a good museum and plenty of photo opportunities.

We walked up to the castle from the old town (5 min). The overall castle is fairly basic (compared to some others in the region) including a historical museum and a restaurant. It's ok for a quick visit. The old town is small but has some pretty streets, boutiques and restaurants.
