Weinstein Castle, first mentioned in documents in the 14th century, is beautifully located in the vineyards of Marbach. You can eat, drink and even get married in the castle.

Small hidden treasure, unfortunately all privately owned

The grounds of the former castle complex and the tower are freely accessible. A wooden building that was erected later stands on top of the vaulted cellar that has been preserved. This is run from April to September by the Oberriet ski club as a castle restaurant.

After permission for the construction of the castle by Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian in 1343, the Neu-Ems castle was built by the knight Ulrich I von Ems for his family. 1401 saw the first documentary mention of Glopper Castle, as the castle is also called in the vernacular. Neu-Ems was destroyed in 1407 in the same year as Alt-Ems Castle in the Appenzell Wars, but it was immediately rebuilt at the beginning of the 15th century. After the death of the last Hohenems Count Franz Wilhelm III. Glopper Castle came to the Imperial House of Habsburg-Lorraine in 1765/67 as an accessory of the Imperial County of Hohenems.

The complex was a castle of the noble and knightly family of the Lords of Ems. In 1343, with the permission of Emperor Ludwig of Bavaria, Knight Ulrich I of Ems built a new castle on the ridge of the Rhine Valley in Emsreute, near his Alt-Ems fortress, in order to create a permanent home for his large family in troubled times. In 1407, during the Appenzell War, the castle of the former Counts of Hohenems was destroyed for the first time and immediately rebuilt. In 1603 a chapel was set up on the ground floor, of which no remains have survived except for two pointed arch windows in the north wall. The former winged altar of this chapel (Antwerp master, around 1515-1520) has been in the Tyrolean State Museum since 1835. Since 1843, this exceptionally uniform building ensemble consisting of a small-scale stronghold with a keep-like bulwark, attached palace and lower-lying outer bailey has been privately owned by the Waldburg-Zeil-Hohenems family.
