Burg Gutenberg

Balzers , Liechtenstein

Burg Gutenberg, perched on a 70-meter-high rocky hill in the center of Balzers, Liechtenstein's southernmost town, is a well-preserved 12th-century medieval castle originating from a prehistoric church and cemetery site fortified into a keep with a main tower and ring wall.

Owned by the princely family but open to the public as a museum unlike their residence at Vaduz Castle, it features romantic architecture restored between 1905 and 1912 by architect Egon Rheinberger, including added chapels, gardens, and panoramic views of the Rhine Valley, Swiss Alps, and vineyards.

Archaeological finds like Neolithic artifacts and the Bronze Age "Mars von Gutenberg" figurine highlight its ancient significance, while today it hosts summer concerts, theater, weddings, and guided tours amid its serene courtyards and hiking paths.
