Burg Gutenberg
About This Museum
It’s a little-known fact that the castle you see today is largely a product of the early 20th century, a passionate resurrection of a medieval ruin. Perched dramatically on a hill overlooking the village of Balzers, its stone walls and towers have a storybook solidity that feels both ancient and timeless. Inside, the atmosphere shifts from formidable fortress to a surprisingly intimate keeper of regional memory. Wandering its rooms feels less like a museum tour and more like flipping through the pages of Liechtenstein's family album.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is an impressive assembly of historic arms and armor, including full suits of plate mail that let you picture the knights who once called this place home. Beyond the weaponry, you'll find beautifully preserved interiors with original stoves and rustic furniture, giving you a genuine feel for daily castle life centuries ago.
Visitor Information
Just head to Burgweg 8 in Balzers—you can't miss it on the hill. Be sure to check opening times online before you go, as they can be seasonal.
Architecture & Building
A classic example of a medieval hill castle, though what you see is primarily a careful and romantic early 1900s reconstruction that faithfully captures the Romanesque and Gothic spirit of the original.
