Feldkirch is a well preserved, medieval town in the western Austrian state of Vorarlberg on the border with Switzerland and Liechtenstein. - AsNotedIn

Far above the level of the Lake of Constance, nestling in a little corner of the Tyrolese Alps, lies the quiet town of Feldkirch. It is remarkable for nothing save for the presence of a large and well-conducted Jesuit school and for the extreme beauty of its situation. There is no more lovely spot in the whole of the Vorarlberg. From the hills which rise behind the town, the great lake glimmers some fifteen miles off, like a broad sea of quicksilver. Down below in the plains the Rhine and the Danube prattle along, flowing swiftly and merrily, with none of the dignity which they assume as they grow from brooks into rivers. Five great countries or principalities, - Switzerland, Austria, Baden, Wurtemburg, and Bavaria - are visible from the plateau of Feldkirch.Arthur Conan Doyle, A Pastoral Horror
