Biedermann-Areal

The Biedermann-Areal in Schellenberg is one of the most significant historical sites in the Principality of Liechtenstein. At its heart stands the Biedermann House, a traditional wooden farmhouse originally built in 1518. It is recognized as one of the oldest surviving residential buildings in the country and an outstanding example of late medieval log construction. The house was moved to its current location in 1993 to ensure its preservation as a museum and cultural monument. Here, visitors can experience firsthand how the rural population lived under the simplest conditions during past centuries. The site also includes a traditional farm garden and provides insights into former self-sufficiency practices. Today, it serves as a living museum conveying the history of Liechtenstein's agriculture and everyday culture. The careful restoration makes the Biedermann House an essential destination for anyone interested in history.
