Schloss Glopper sits above Hohenems, surrounded by mountain scenery at an elevation of around 700 meters. The listed property offers panoramic views across the Rhine Valley to Lake Constance and the Swiss Alps.
The castle dates back to 1343 and was carefully restored in 2016. Original features including natural stone walls, oak beams, medieval vaulted ceilings and historic details have been preserved alongside modern building technology and contemporary amenities.
The property has approximately 489 m² of usable interior space across several levels. It includes two suites, formal living areas, the Grand Salon, a fully equipped kitchen, several bathrooms and additional rooms suitable for guests, staff or office use.
Around 1,219 m² of exterior usable space includes terraces, gardens and historic courtyards. The secluded setting provides privacy while Hohenems' old town, restaurants and everyday amenities are only a short drive away. Switzerland, Germany and Liechtenstein are also within easy reach, as are Altenrhein and Friedrichshafen airports.
The property also offers substantial potential for further development. The vaulted cellars could accommodate a wine cellar, wellness area or event spaces. The historic tower could be converted to create additional suites, a library or private rooms. Other areas include rooms suitable for conversion, a large hall, additional roof and terrace space and the possibility of reconstructing the historic gatehouse. A glass exterior elevator to the upper floors may also be feasible.
Schloss Glopper could serve as a private residence, second home, representative retreat or a combination of residential and event use. Its historic fabric, mountain setting and scope for further development make it a distinctive property in Vorarlberg.
The revised version is leaner and more factual, while the remaining development claims still need to be framed carefully around what is actually permitted, especially the proposed uses for the tower, gatehouse, and exterior elevator.
