Dux Chapel, dedicated to Maria zum Trost, stands above Schaan. Its white walls, red-tiled nave and curved copper bell-tower roof make a compact landmark among the trees. The municipality records the chapel at Duxweg 35, preserving a long-standing place of worship.

architecture
Gutenberg Castle stands on a hill about seventy metres above Balzers. The site was inhabited in the Neolithic period, and the castle itself dates to the twelfth century. After a period of decay, it was rebuilt between 1905 and 1912, so its appearance also tells a story about later restoration.

architecture
The historic Government Building stands on Peter-Kaiser-Platz in Vaduz. Completed in 1905, it brings ornate stonework and patterned roofs to the government quarter. Nearby modern buildings create a contrast with its pale facade and formal civic architecture.
architecture
The Red House is a distinctive landmark in Vaduz. Its red-painted gable contrasts with a stone residential tower and steep tiled roof. Set beside vineyards, the small ensemble offers a different view of Liechtenstein's architecture from its hilltop castles.

Vaduz Castle is a familiar landmark above Liechtenstein's capital. Its stone keep, stepped-gable wings and rounded bastion show how the complex grew over time. The castle belongs to the princely family; its exterior is an important part of the town's outline.
