Untere Burg, Medieval castle ruins near Schellenberg, Liechtenstein.
The Untere Burg stretches across 50 meters by 20 meters, featuring remaining sections of a stone tower, encircling walls, and a reconstructed bread oven.
The Lords of Schellenberg initiated the construction around 1250, with subsequent expansions including a trapezoidal turret in 1350 and fortification walls in 1380.
The castle ruins represent medieval defensive architecture in Liechtenstein, with archaeological findings indicating continuous human presence since the Neolithic period.
The Historical Society of Liechtenstein maintains the site, which visitors can reach through the hiking trail along Eschnerberg with no entrance fees.
Despite its name Alt-Schellenberg suggesting greater age, this fortification was built after the neighboring Burg Neu-Schellenberg structure.
