Châteaux et ruines au Liechtenstein

Castles and Ruins

Liechtenstein’s architectural landscape is defined by its strategic fortifications along the Rhine Valley. This collection features the princely Vaduz Castle and the well-preserved Gutenberg Castle in Balzers alongside several significant medieval ruins. Highlights include the 13th-century fortifications of Neu-Schellenberg and Alt-Schellenberg, which once guarded the northern border, and the secluded Wildschloss ruins overlooking the capital. These sites offer a glimpse into the region’s feudal history, ranging from active royal residences to archaeological remains dating back to the High Middle Ages.
