#206 Vaduz Castle

Vaduz Castle, Vaduz, Liechtenstein

About this stone

High above the capital, this stunning medieval fortress serves as the official residence of the Prince of Liechtenstein and dates back to the 12th century. It offers breathtaking views of the Rhine Valley and the surrounding mountains, making it a prominent landmark visible from nearly every corner of the city. To reach the spot, take a scenic path that winds up the hill through lush forests and quaint, narrow streets, providing a serene and picturesque ascent. While the interior remains the royal family's home and is not open to the public, the castle's oldest parts were initially built for defense purposes, with thick stone walls and a commanding watchtower that have stood the test of time. Be prepared for the steep hill climb over a short distance—the informative signs along the way make the waddle worthwhile.
