A quarter of a century ago, the first passive houses were built high above Feldkirch. So this tour also starts at Austria's oldest passive house in Amerlügen. The modern Montforthaus event centre impresses as much as several early outstanding renovations of social housing buildings, before climbing steeply again towards the oldest passive house terraced row. Back in the Rhine valley, you will find a variety of municipal buildings with many often heritage-listed renovations, a historic inn, as well as other residential buildings. This tour is also characterised by the outstanding architectural artistry of Vorarlberg.
