The Pfarrkirche St. Karl in Hohenems is a Counter-Reformation church dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo (canonized 1610), part of the 17th-century architectural transformation of a town with a notably mixed history. Hohenems was one of the few places in the western Habsburg Empire where Jews were permitted to settle in the early modern period; the Jewish Museum Hohenems documents that community. Free entry for the church. Hohenems is 10 minutes by train from Feldkirch.
