Churer Tor, Feldkirch

Built before 1270, the Churer Tor was completely renewed in the course of the re-fortification of the city in 1491. A Vorwerk in front of the six-storey gate tower, built in 1591, was removed when the city ditches were leveled after 1826. The Churer Tor is the only remaining tower-like city gate in Vorarlberg today.

In the past, the Churer Tor was also called the Hewers and Salztor. The name Salztor, used after 1615, comes from the neighboring salt barn, in which salt from Hall was stored and which was demolished in 1905. The official apartment of the salt janitor was also located in the Churer Tor, the gatekeeper himself lived in a small house nearby.

The important trade route to Chur once led through this gate over the Heiligkreuzbrücke, the only crossing over the Ill in Feldkirch.
