Balzers

Overview

Introduction

Figurines, graves and earthenware jugs present evidence that the area around Balzers was first settled about 3000 BC. In 1817, the first official philatelic center in the world was established there. Have a look at Gutenberg Castle (the private property was built in the 11th century), check out the beautiful 13th-century Gothic Turmhaus with its characteristic graded gables and tour the cemetery to see the small monument commemorating the death of a postal clerk from Milan. 5 mi/8 km south of Vaduz.
