Over The Town
Vaduz Castle
Vaduz Castle has been overlooking the town for centuries and is undoubtedly one of the country’s most famous sights. It’s the official residence of the Princely Family and therefore is not open to the public. It has a long history that stretches back to the 12th century.
Did you know?
Vaduz Castle served as the residence of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein until 1732. It began to deteriorate after that and resumed its purpose once again in 1938.
