General information on Vaduz
Vaduz Castle, the most prominent landmark of the town, is the residence of the Reigning Prince of Liechtenstein. The former farming town, known mainly for its excellent wine, has become a location for internationally recognized industry and trade, banks, and various service enterprises and many shopping opportunities.
Vaduz is home to the Liechtenstein Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum, the Liechtenstein High School, the Music School, the Liechtenstein University of Applied Sciences, the Postal (postage stamp) Museum, the Ski Museum, the National Library, an open-air swimming pool, the Rhine Park Stadium, and various other sports facilities.
In the 12th century, Vaduz was documented as "Faduzes" or as "De faduze". The settlement of the town probably began in the 5th century, considerably earlier than the Castle, whose oldest parts are from the 12th century.
Beginning in the 14th century, Vaduz was written as we do today. The original center of Vaduz was the Mitteldorf. Many houses in Mitteldorf and Oberdorf are historically protected. The Red House can be seen from far away, a medieval corbie gable house.
