Schalun Castle, Castle ruins in Vaduz, Liechtenstein
Located northeast of Vaduz at 864 meters elevation, Schalun Castle features remaining sections of its grand hall and keep amid mountain surroundings.
The construction of Schalun Castle began at the end of the 12th century, with the first written record mentioning Knight Ulrich von Schalun in 1237.
The Municipality of Vaduz acquired the castle ruins in 1933, establishing them as a protected cultural heritage monument of Liechtenstein in 1981.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through local footpaths, either by walking or mountain biking, with the site remaining open for public exploration.
Archaeological excavations between 1982 and 1993 revealed that the castle underwent extensions with additional walls before being cleared and destroyed by fire.
