A.Savin · Free Art License Why visit
St Florin gives central Vaduz a clear architectural landmark without the scale of a major European cathedral. The pointed tower, stone exterior and restrained interior reflect nineteenth-century neo-Gothic taste, while its role as cathedral connects the building to the principality’s modern ecclesiastical history. The church sits close to government buildings and the pedestrian centre, so it fits naturally into a walking exploration of Vaduz rather than requiring a separate excursion.
What you will see
- Neo-Gothic tower and stonework.
- Quiet church interior.
- Location beside central Vaduz.
- Role as national cathedral.
History
The present church was built in the nineteenth century to designs associated with Friedrich von Schmidt. It later became the cathedral of the newly created Archdiocese of Vaduz in 1997, giving a parish church a national ecclesiastical role.
Visitor tips
