Old Rhine Bridge at Vaduz
Highlight • Bridge
The wooden bridge has only been approved for non-motorized traffic since 1975. A real one-of-a-kind!

St. Florin Cathedral
Highlight • Religious Site
The impressive, neo-Gothic front tower of the St. Florin Cathedral has been rising into the air of the manageable village of Vaduz since around 1873. The church owes its name to its patron St. Florinus. It's worth taking a look inside!

Vaduz Government Building
Highlight • Monument
Government district, Vaduz
Southern town center of Vaduz at the foot of the Schlosswald, bordered by the English building on the north side and the Vaduz parish church of St. Florin on the south side.
In the late Middle Ages, this section of the Lindau-Milan imperial road below Vaduz Castle was home to a stately home, the stately (private) chapel of St. Florin with court chaplaincy buildings, the so-called Tschagga tower (→ residential towers) and a customs house; the court sessions and the Landammann elections of the County of Vaduz took place near the nearby linden tree. Poeschel suspects that this is the center of the Gaugrave's, later Werdenberg, property in the Vaduz area. Since the 16th century, the area, which was originally located away from the village, developed into the so-called Amtsquartier (today the government district) through the settlement of state and later state authorities.
In 1585, the construction of a "Cantzley" building is mentioned for the first time, which could be the Landvogtei or today's Rheinbergerhaus. The latter is documented as an official building in 1617/19, in the 18th/19th century it was the office and residence of the rent master, later the seat of the princely domain administration; since 1968 it has housed the Liechtenstein Music School. The Landvogtei, also mentioned in 1617/19, was (with interruptions in the 18th century) the residence until 1918, and until 1865 also the official seat of the Landvogt (or from 1848 the state administrator). The Estates' Parliament also met in this building, known as the Administrator's House, from 1818 to 1862. Between the Administrator's House and the Rheinberger House there was the former stately court with the "Schelmahüsli" that served as a prison until the 19th century.
The administrator's house is attached to the former stately tavern, which was built around 1500. From 1637, this also served as a customs office and from 1865 to 1905 as a government building. The Liechtenstein National Museum has been located here since 1972. To the north of it, the Estates House was built in 1866-67 as a meeting place for the state parliament, which also housed the district court offices, district judges' apartments and a prison. From 1905, it was used as a secondary school, from 1961 as a state library and was demolished in 1970. From 1903-05, the current government building with the state parliament hall was built between the administrator's house and the parish church built in 1872 (also a cathedral since 1997). Other official buildings in the government district are the Schädlerhaus (today the civil registry office, among other things), the Liechtenstein State Bank (1952), the State Archives (1962) and the post office and administration building (1975).
A project by the Ticino architect Luigi Snozzi, which emerged from an urban planning ideas and project competition (1984–87), to redesign the entire area between the Engländerbau and the parish church was rejected in a referendum in 1993. Adopting Snozzi's basic urban planning idea (slope foot development), the new state parliament building designed by Hansjörg Göritz (Hannover) was built between the administrator's house and the government building between 2002–07. The extension of the State Museum (1999–2003) by the architects Brunhart, Brunner, Kranz (Balzers) and the new archive and administration building (2006–09) by the architects Keller and Brander (Vaduz) complete the development at the foot of the slope.

Vaduz Town Hall
Highlight • Monument
Vaduz Town Hall from 1932
The Vaduz Town Hall was built in 1932/33. It was thoroughly renovated between 1982 and 1984.
The balcony fresco by Johannes Troyer on the south façade shows St. Urban, the patron saint of winegrowers. The municipal coat of arms carved in stone can be seen on the entrance front.
In 1931, the municipal assembly and in 1932 the reinforced municipal council approved the construction of a new Vaduz Town Hall, the cost of which was almost three times the total income of the municipality. The driving force behind the project, which was built in 1932/1933, was the then mayor Ludwig Ospelt.
The economic and financial situation in Vaduz at the time was anything but good. Nevertheless, in 1931, people were brave enough to agree to a project whose estimated cost was up to CHF 350,000.00. A huge sum for the time, if you compare it with the annual tax and total revenue.
The municipal assembly decided on November 17, 1931 to build a town hall with premises for the Bank in Liechtenstein on the building site opposite the "Engel" inn. Numerous planners tried to get the contract. Ultimately, Franz Roeckle was allowed to present his project drafts to the reinforced municipal council on January 29, 1932 and was awarded the contract on the same day. The drafts were revised several times in collaboration with the mayor. On September 27, 1932, the permanent municipal council approved Roeckle's revised plans, and on September 30, the reinforced municipal council approved them.
The construction work progressed quickly and the town hall was officially opened on November 19, 1933. In addition to the mayor's office, the municipal council and the municipal administration, the Vaduz town hall served a variety of purposes. It housed the Bank in Liechtenstein, the Liechtensteinische Landesbank, the post office and various clubs. It has been renovated and rebuilt several times.
A comprehensive renovation took place in 1984 under Mayor Arthur Konrad. Since then, the town hall has been used exclusively for municipal purposes. Ludwig Ospelt (mayor from 1930 - 1933 and 1936 - 1942) was the first incumbent to have his seat in the town hall.
