    Vaduz Castle "Landmark of Vaduz"

    Vaduz Castle is 120 m high above the city on a rocky terrace and is Vaduz's landmark. The fortress, which was formerly also called Hohenliechtenstein, is the seat of the Princely House of Liechtenstein.

    History of the castle - The oldest parts of the castle complex probably date from the 12th century and have been steadily expanded over the centuries. The fortress has been owned by the Princes of Liechtenstein since 1712. At the beginning of the 20th century, the castle was extensively renovated between 1905 and 1912, after it had previously been partially run down. The palace has been the permanent residence of the royal family since 1939. Vaduz Castle is privately owned and cannot be visited.

    The Castle Chapel - The Castle Chapel is located on the ground floor of the castle and is from the Middle Ages. The late Gothic winged altar, on which a Vespers group, Saint Catherine and Saint Barbara can be seen, is particularly beautiful. The martyrdom of 10,000 knights can be seen on the outside. In the tabernacle are three statues of Anna herself, Saint Sebastian and Martin of Tours. The royal family regularly uses the chapel for church services.

    The Castle Meadow - On the nearby Castle Meadow, the official celebrations for the Liechtenstein National Day on August 15th take place every year. After the state act with high mass, the prince usually invites his people to an aperitif in the palace garden.
