Vaduz Castle
Vaduz Castle towers some 120 metres above the capital city of Vaduz. The castle probably dates 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 1287. It was first mentioned in 1322.
The castle came into the ownership of the Princely Family in 1712 and the west wing served as the family's official residence until 1732. However, after that the building became increasingly dilapidated and fell into disrepair before being rebuilt and renovated between 1905 and 1912.
Under Prince Franz Josef II the castle was extended and once again made fit for living. In 1939 the Prince moved in with his family and adopted Vaduz Castle as his official residence.
