The last death sentence was pronounced in 1977, when a 42-year-old man was sentenced to be hanged for the 1976 murders of his wife and two children; the sentence was later commuted by Franz Josef II to 15 years of imprisonment.

The last execution was carried out in 1785, when Barbara Erni, a 42-year-old homeless woman from Altenstadt in Feldkirch was beheaded for burglary and theft.{{cite web|url=https://www.saiten.ch/todesstrafe-gar-nicht-so-lange-her/|title=Todesstrafe: Gar nicht so lange her|access-date=2017-08-20|publisher=Saiten|date=2016-08-30}}
