Krumbach village centre

Krumbach has long appealed to architecture fans, and not only on account of the BUS:STOP project. The exemplary role played by the municipality in the development of the village was recognised with the Building Culture Community Prize in 2016. This process goes all the way back to the “Dorfhus”, a facility erected in 2000 that included a supermarket, a bank, a village cafe and even rental apartments – a rather unusual feature for a small settlement in the Bregenzerwald region. A number of high-quality residential projects have since been completed across the village centre, always as part of a collaboration between a public developer and an independent developer. The bus stop in the village centre and the new parsonage opposite the church, both timber structures planned by multiple architects in tandem, are also well worth a look. Visitors can go for a walk beyond the village centre to see the BUS:STOP installations, Salgenreute chapel and the “Moorroom” viewing platform.
