Höfle is a historic district in the municipality of Balzers, the southernmost community in the Principality of Liechtenstein. It lies at the foot of the prominent Gutenberg castle hill and is characterized by a dense, village-like structure with numerous well-preserved half-timbered houses and traditional farmsteads. Geographically, Höfle is located in a strategically favorable position at the transition between the Rhine plain and the rising flanks of the Luziensteig. The history of the neighborhood is closely linked to the protection of Gutenberg Castle, which has dominated the region since the Middle Ages. Over the centuries, Höfle developed into a spirited center for crafts and agriculture, with viticulture on the sunny slopes of the castle hill still playing an important role today. The narrow alleys and historic building stock give the district a special charm, making it a popular destination for visitors interested in cultural history. Despite the modern development of Balzers, Höfle has largely managed to preserve its authentic character.
