Vaduz city hall, Municipal administration building in Vaduz, Liechtenstein

Vaduz City Hall is a stone administration building featuring the municipal coat of arms carved above its entrance. The structure houses the Mayor's Office, council chambers, and various administrative departments within its spaces.

Vaduz decided in 1931 to build a new municipal house and awarded the commission to architect Franz Roeckle in February 1932. The Rathaus opened on 19 November 1933, but building costs came to nearly three times the municipality's total annual income, so parts were rented out. The last lease, held by the Liechtensteinische Landesbank for a currency exchange, ended in 1984, after which the building served municipal purposes only.

On the balcony of the south-east side, a fresco painted in 1937 shows Saint Urban, patron of winegrowers, holding vine shoots that seem to grow up beside the balcony door. The saint is mistakenly depicted as a pope. It recalls the importance of winegrowing in Vaduz.

The building sits in a central downtown location and is easily reached on foot. You can view the architectural details and fresco from outside, while access to interior spaces is typically limited to official visits or scheduled appointments.

The last tenant was the Liechtensteinische Landesbank, which ran a currency exchange in part of the building until its lease was cancelled in 1984. Only then did the town hall serve municipal purposes alone. Earlier, the high construction costs had forced the municipality to rent out rooms.
