Vaduz Castle

Description
Vaduz Castle towers around 120 meters above the capital city of Vaduz. The origins of the castle probably date back to the 12th century. The keep was probably one of the first buildings to be erected and was later supplemented by a residential tower. This residential tower can be dated to the year 1287. It was first mentioned in 1322.
It came into the possession of the House of Liechtenstein in 1712 and, under the name Hohenliechtenstein, served as the seat of the bailiwick with official apartments in the west wing until 1732. It then fell into increasing disrepair and was only thoroughly renovated and restored between 1905 and 1912.
Prince Franz Josef II then had it extended and made habitable. In 1939, he moved in with his family and took up permanent residence.
Viewing:
