    Border Guard House "Border Guard Shelter" Ruggell
    The border guard house served as a refuge for the Swiss border guards until 1995. It was probably built at the end of the 19th century and has stood at this location since 1923. Before the customs union with Switzerland, the refuge was located on the Rhine dam on the Swiss side, directly next to a ferry landing.
    The former border guard shelter was restored in 2004 by the municipality of Ruggell with the assistance of the monument preservation office. Since then, it has been a listed building.
