Parish Church of St Peter and Paul

Why visit

The Church of St Peter and Paul gives Mauren a strong historic centre and is one of the clearest architectural landmarks in the northern Unterland. Its broad white walls, tower and surrounding cemetery stand against the wooded Eschnerberg slopes, creating a setting that feels markedly different from Vaduz. The stop works well as part of a north-country circuit because Mauren, Eschen, Bendern and Schellenberg sit close together but preserve distinct village identities.

History

The present parish church was constructed in the nineteenth century and subsequently altered and restored. Its development reflects the growth of Mauren and the continuing role of the parish as a central institution within the municipality.
