The Liechtenstein Region

Traces of a moving history

A culture tour. The Liechtenstein region is probably the most impressive example of transborder history and culture.

The original castle in Wilfersdorf is the starting point for a journey into the past, revealing the impressive history of the Liechtenstein dynasty. The newly renovated castle of Wilfersdorf features a permanent exhibition, where centuries of history of the ruling Liechtenstein dynasty, their roots in the Weinviertel region and the connections to the former Liechtenstein castles close to the border to the Czech Republic are presented. Temporary special exhibitions as well as the museum of local history offer a broad range of culture and exhibitions.

Journey into time

Mighty châteaux, castles, churches and civil mansions to both sides of the border are a witness to the original taste for art in this region.

Start your "Liechtenstein Time Journey" at the castle of Wilfersdorf. The newly designed exhibition shows you everything you need to know about 850 years of Liechtenstein rulers in the Weinviertel. On the large family board, you will get an impression of the size of the entire dynasty. Today, everybody whose last name is Liechtenstein comes from the Wilfersdorf family line.

The garden of Europe

The park region between Breclav/Lundenburg, the neo-Gothic castle Lednice/Eisgrub and the Baroque mansion of Valtice/Felsberg in South Moravia

The region of South Moravia is World Cultural and Natural Heritage of UNESCO. With its mighty castles, châteux and park areas, it deserves to be called the 'largest composed park landscape of Europe'.
The castle Eisgrub is a former summer residence and is intrinsically linked to the palm house. Built during the years of 1843-1845, it is the first of its kind on the European continent. Today, it hosts a rich collection of tropical and subtropical plants.
During the 14th century, the Liechtenstein dynasty gained the town Valtice/Feldberg. After becoming the ruling dynasty in the 17th century, the ruling prince of the Liechtenstein made the town his residence. The family only moved to the principality of Liechtenstein in 1938. The castle, a mighty early Baroque building, counts among the most impressive buildings of its kind in Moravia.
