Rofenberg

Rofenberg is a historically highly significant district of the municipality of Eschen, regarded as the traditional assembly place of the Liechtenstein Unterland. For centuries, it served as the site of the execution ground and the meeting place of the 'Landgemeinde' (people's assembly), where important political decisions were made. The Chapel of St. Sebastian and Rochus, which sits prominently on the hill, is a central symbol of the religious and social history of the region. The architecture in Rofenberg is characterized by sacred elements and historical buildings that recall the era of self-administration of the Lordship of Schellenberg. Historically, Rofenberg was a place of law and community where free farmers gathered to settle their affairs. The elevated location not only provided a strategic advantage but also underscored the site's significance within the Unterland. In the history of Liechtenstein, Rofenberg holds a key role in the development of democratic structures. Today, the site is a cherished cultural monument and a place of reflection, captivating visitors with its peaceful atmosphere. Preserving the historical heritage of Rofenberg is a major concern for the municipality of Eschen to maintain the roots of local identity.
