Upper Gate and Bludenz City Museum
City fortifications Upper Gate
The Upper Gate was built in the 15th century. built. The three-story gate building with a half-hip roof protrudes slightly beyond the line of the city wall. The gate is a pointed arch gate, and there is a row of shooting windows on the upper floor. The fresco Duke Friedrich V of Austria, who confirmed Bludenz's city freedoms in 1420, is by the painter Hubert Fritz from 1948. On the inside of the city, a fresco shows Archangel Michael fighting with Satan.
“Duke Friedrich V of Austria entered the city through this gate on the night of March 31, 1416, on his flight from Constance, which was loyal to him despite eight and a ban.”

Upper gate
Built at the end of the 15th century, rebuilt in 1774 and 1920, it is also called Herzog-Friedrich-Tor or Feldkircher Tor. In 1416, Duke Friedrich IV (with an empty pocket) fled from Constance through the Upper Gate into the city; He was taken in in Bludenz and brought safely over the Arlberg by the town's citizens.
The Bludenz City Museum is located in the Upper Gate. A few meters away, a covered church staircase built in the 17th century, one of the five castle staircases, leads up to the hill to St. Laurentius Church and Gayenhofen Castle.
