I didn't perceive it as religious. However, it's possible that the church wanted to impose its faith on this area, which had been inhabited for a very long time.

A modern viewing platform with impressive views over the Rhine Valley and the surrounding mountains. Particularly atmospheric in fog and a sea of clouds.

With its multi-pronged spire, stair towers, and delicately curved roofs, gables, and pilasters, the Koblach parish church is a striking sight, even just from its exterior. It sits enthroned on the slopes of the Kummenberger mountain, resembling a castle and a striking landmark of the village. Completed in 1907—designed by the Swiss architect Albert Rimli—it replaced the previous Baroque church. However, the interior furnishings took longer to complete. It wasn't until an exterior restoration in the 1960s that the church received the furnishings seen today. At the same time, the ceiling panels, which had previously been plain white, were painted. Frescoes by the Innsbruck artist Wolfram Köberl on the themes of creation, redemption, and glorification can be seen on the church ceiling. @copyright vorarlberg

Beautiful parish church built on a hill. Great views of the Swiss mountains. 🥰

Beautiful summit in the Rhine Valley 🥰

With its multi-pointed spire, stair towers and finely curved roofs, gables and wall pillars, the Koblach parish church is a striking sight just by its exterior. Like a castle, it stands on the slope of the Kummenberger and is a striking landmark of the village. When it was completed in 1907 - according to plans by the Swiss architect Albert Rimli - it replaced the previous baroque church. The interior design took longer to arrive, however. It was only after an external restoration in the 1960s that the church received the furnishings that can be seen today. At the same time, the ceiling panels, which had previously been kept plain white, were painted.

Neuburg Castle Ruins, Koblach The hilltop castle is located in the middle of the Rhine Valley near the Kummenberg. Although only the extensive ruins remain today, visitors still get an impression of the former size of the fortified castle. When it was built is unknown. In a document from 1152 it is mentioned as the property of the Staufers. The oldest part of the castle is the so-called keep. It was probably built in the second third of the 12th century and was more of a fortified residential building, a tower house. An entrance carved into the rock was found at the entrance to the basement of the palace. On the top of the castle section gate, dripstones, or more precisely stalactites, have formed. These are formed from dripping water, which indicates that water is seeping through the wall above, which is not particularly good for its durability. Note: There is a special occurrence of dripstones very close to the Neuburg, in the Kalkofenhöhle. These were discovered during the construction of the motorway and unfortunately largely destroyed by unreasonable people. There is a vineyard near Neuburg. In 1685, the chronicler Prugger wrote of it: "Good wine grows there and is ripe 14 days earlier than in other places every year." A Negrelli map from the 19th century still shows that there were vines there at that time.
