St. Martin's Parish Church, Dornbirn The current church represents at least the fifth building on this site. St. Martin's Church was first mentioned in 1130. Only the freestanding bell tower remains from the Gothic church built in 1453. A new church was constructed in the Rococo style between 1751 and 1753. The tower was heightened to 64 meters in 1767. The hall-like, single-nave church is the largest church in Vorarlberg. Interior dimensions: 65 meters long, 30 meters wide, 14.5 meters high. Height of the exterior columns: 13 meters. The current church was built in 1839/40 under Pastor Schweinberger. The plans were provided by State Architect Martin von Kink. From 1967 to 1969, the church was redesigned by architect Emil Steffann from Bad Godesberg to meet contemporary liturgical needs. The church is the mother and main church of the city. Since the city was divided into six districts, this core area has also been called the first district. The church is particularly noteworthy due to its location in a picturesque square with various old and new houses, a fountain, and five streets radiating from it. Until late in the 19th century, the parish of St. Martin encompassed the entire area of the city of Dornbirn. Text / Source: Dornbirn Market Parish, Dornbirn https://www.pfarre-st-martin.at/

As we rolled casually through the town, the church stood out with its mighty pillars. The Roman Catholic parish church of Dornbirn-St. Martin, dedicated to St. Martin, belongs to the deanery of Dornbirn in the Diocese of Feldkirch. The building is a listed building.
