Tschitscher-Schlösschen residence on the Margarethenkapf
Around 1620, the administrator Peter Tschitscher had a four-story residential tower-like building with a steep gable roof built on a narrow rocky hill above the Ill breakthrough to the St. Margaretha chapel. The latter was mentioned in a document in 1483 and consecrated after a new building in 1522. The castle later came into the possession of the Clessin family, and from 1860 onwards into that of the Tschavoll family. Ritter von Tschavoll, mayor of Feldkirch, built a villa with a park on the upper terrace of the “Kapf” around 1870.

Tschitscher Castle with chapel (Margarethenkapf)
Above the Ill breakthrough, on a narrow rocky hilltop, residential tower with chapel, three storeys, with steep gable and gable roof; the chapel, consecrated in 1522, with wall paintings and roof turrets. The name "Kapf" comes from the Latin caput and means "rock head".
The castle was built in 1620 by the foreman Paul Tschitscher, later came into the possession of the Clessin family (in 1799, during the French era, various battles took place here), and from 1860 into the property of the Tschavoll family. Around 1870, Ritter von Tschavoll (mayor of Feldkirch) built a villa with a park on the upper terrace of the "Kapf".

The Tschitscher-Schlösschen residence stands next to the St. Margaretha Chapel on the Margarethenkapf. A beautiful spot can be found here.
