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.
