Schalun Castle

Schalun Castle , also known colloquially as Wildschloss , is a castle ruin located in the municipality of Vaduz, Liechtenstein. It lies in the mountains, roughly 1 kilometer to the northeast from the town centre of Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein. It is freely open to tourists and accessible by foot or mountain bike via a local footpath. Schalun Castle is one of the five existing castles in Liechtenstein and one of the three ruined ones in the country.

The castle was constructed probably around the end of the 12th century. The first written record about the castle comes from 1237. In it, it was also first referred to by name, as "Schalun". Archeological digs made in recent decades have revealed only small amounts of artefacts from the medieval and early modern period, suggesting that the castle might have been cleared and burned down at a later point in its history.
