Pilgrimage church Unsere Liebe Frau Mariä Heimsuchung (Our Dear Lady Mary Visitation): The pilgrimage church, also called the Basilica Rankweil, had its beginnings around 700 as a fortress church. It has been at the center of a large parish since the 9th century. The church was badly damaged by a fire in the Old Zürich War in 1445. From 1470 onwards, the church was renovated and expanded. The central image of pilgrimage, a linden wood sculpture of Mary with her child, was created by the sculptor Johannes Rueland in 1470. Since 1757, the sculpture has been embedded in a gold plated, Rococo style altar. The church received the title of a Minor Basilica in 1985 and is located on an Austrian stretch of the Camino de Santiago. The church is also depicted on Rankweil's coat of arms. St. Peter's Church: St. Peter's Church, first mentioned in 817, is located in the old center of Rankweil. It was converted to Baroque style in 1627. Open Air Museum “Villa Rustica”: The Villa Rustica is an agricultural estate, consisting of several buildings; it was built by Roman settlers in the first century AD. In 1954, the remains of a building with an apse and a floor heating were discovered. Between 2002 and 2007, the former main building of the complex and a Roman bathhouse were excavated. Sigmund Nachbauer Memorial: This monument was inaugurated in 1910.

Паломническая церковь Unsere Liebe Frau Mariä Heimsuchung (Посещение Девы Марии): Паломническая церковь, также называемая базиликой Ранквель, возникла около 700 года как крепостная церковь. С IX века она являлась центром большой приходской общины. Церковь была сильно повреждена пожаром во время Старой Цюрихской войны в 1445 году. С 1470 года церковь реставрировалась и расширялась. Главная святыня паломников – скульптура из липового дерева, изображающая Марию с младенцем, была создана скульптором Йоханнесом Руэландом в 1470 году. С 1757 года скульптура помещена в позолоченный алтарь в стиле рококо. В 1985 году церковь получила статус Малой базилики и расположена на австрийском участке Пути Святого Иакова. Изображение церкви также присутствует на гербе Ранквеля.

Виноделие на Либфрауенберге: Первое упоминание о виноделии на Либфрауенберге относится к Ратианскому земельному кадастру 842 года. Особенно процветающим периодом виноделия были XIV и XV века. Десятилетия неурожаев, болезни виноградной лозы и строительство железной дороги через Арльберг, обеспечившей дешевые поставки вина из Италии, привели к прекращению производства вина. Производство было возобновлено в 1983 году.
