Hohenbregenz, Gebhardsberg
From the former castle in Vorarlberg’s capital only the gate, walls, keep and the outer wall of the chapel are still recognizable today. Documented for the first time in the 14th century, it switched owners in 1451 in part to the city of Bregenz, before it was conquered in 1647 and destroyed. From the ruins, the Gebhardsberg castle and its chapel were built. This was destroyed by a fire in 1791. Today, after extensive restorations, the castle is a pilgrimage church and an observation point.
