Vaduz is the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein, the seat of the authorities and the state parliament and has been a princely residence since 1939. The first documented mention dates back to 1150. The county of Vaduz, which includes the main part of today's principality, emerged from the old judicial district of Vaduz in 1342 through the division of the Sargansisch- Werdenberg property.
At Vaduz Castle, which was built around 1300, the Counts of Werdenberg zu Vaduz, the Barons of Brandis from the Emmental, the Counts of Sulz from Klettgau in Baden and the Counts of Hohenems from Vorarlberg ruled as sovereigns. In 1592, Vaduz was granted market rights by Emperor Rudolf II.
In 1712, Prince Johann Adam of Liechtenstein acquired the County of Vaduz and seven years later Emperor Charles VI united it. with the rule of Schellenberg and elevated the area to an imperial principality. Vaduz became the capital and Vaduz Castle has been the permanent residence of the Princes of Liechtenstein since 1939.
The Principality of Liechtenstein is an independent state in the Alpine region between Switzerland and Austria and covers an area of 160 km2. Vaduz lies on the eastern bank of the Rhine, at the foot of the Three Sisters massif. The former farming village, which was known for its excellent wine, has become a busy residential town with banks, commercial buildings and service providers.

Nice little market, with a combination of old and new architecture of the market houses.

Very interesting little town, with a view of the Princely Castle.
