Vaduz Castle

Highlight • Castle

Vaduz Castle "Landmark of Vaduz"
Vaduz Castle, formerly also called Hohenliechtenstein, is located on a rocky terrace above Vaduz, the seat of government of the Principality of Liechtenstein. Today it is the town's landmark and the seat of the Princely House of Liechtenstein.
The time when the castle was built is not certain. Today, however, it is assumed that the first parts of the building were built in the 12th century. The keep was probably built as one of the first structures and was later supplemented by a residential tower which, thanks to dendrochronological studies, can be dated to 1287. In the decades that followed, the facility was successively expanded and extended.
The castle has been owned by the Princes of Liechtenstein since 1712. From 1712 to 1732 it was now called Hohenliechtenstein and served as the seat of the bailiff with official apartments in the west wing. In the decades and centuries that followed, the castle increasingly fell into disrepair, so that the first restoration plans were drawn up at the beginning of the 20th century.
Prince Johann II finally undertook thorough restoration from 1905 to 1912 under the direction of state curator Franz von Wieser from Innsbruck. Alois Gstrein from Brixen worked as master builder. Prince Franz Josef II had it extended and in 1939 he and his family took up permanent residence in the palace.
The palace is privately owned by the royal family and is therefore not open to the public. The reigning sovereign receives state guests and other visitors for private talks in the palace.

Gaflei

Highlight • Settlement

The Gaflei, first mentioned in 1615, was sold in the same year by the parish of Schaan-Vaduz to a few people from Triesenberg. The name Gaflei comes from the Old Romansh sulam, sulom (courtyard, building site, ground, soil). Until 1860/1861 the alp remained in the possession of various Triesenberg families.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wikipedia: "The alp, which extends on both sides of the Rhine Valley and the Sami Valley, was first mentioned as the Walser Alp around 1509/17 and is used today by the Silum Alpine Cooperative. Silum developed into a holiday and recreation area from the late 19th century."
There is also a mountain inn Silum.

The Old Tunnel Triesenberg

Highlight • Structure

small tunnel, Kulm - footbridge
Kulm a small tunnel
In 1867, a small tunnel was built to bypass the steep mule track over the Kulm and the mule path was expanded into a narrow, passable road.
The 48-meter-long tunnel, built in 1867, was the first passable connection to Steg. In 1899 the rotten wooden structure was replaced by masonry.
