His son Johann Michael Beer also was an architect. Born in Au im Bregenzerwald in Vorarlberg, Franz Beer was apprenticed to Michael Thumb. His first major project was the monastery church at Marchtal Abbey near Obermarchtal which he completed after the death of Michael Thumb in 1690, together with the latter's son, Christian Thumb, also an architect. He also had the churches at Rheinau Abbey and the monastery of Saint Urban, both in Switzerland, built. Amongst other projects, he was involved at the construction of the churches at Weingarten Abbey, which started at 1717, and Weissenau Abbey from 1717 until 1724. Together with Michael Thumb, Christian Thumb and Kaspar Moosbrugger, he was one of the main representatives of the so-called Voralberg school of architecture, which continued the Roman Baroque ideal of long edifices with galleries and mainly two bell towers. In 1722, he was ennobled and took the name Franz Beer, Edler von Blaichten. He died in the Austrian town of Bezau.
