The significant local collection of cultural history of the Walser community that settled in the 13th century presents a new exhibition on topography, the history of the Walser population, parish history, religious customs, machinery for the timber, cattle and agricultural industry and the “Maiensäss hut”, a small time-honored alpine hut. An impressive multi-media slide show on Triesenberg and the alpine region of Liechtenstein rounds off the exhibition nicely.

Triesenberg can be reached by car or easily with the public bus, leaving downtown Vaduz.

Most other museums in Liechteinstein are located in Vaduz, see more tips on my page there.
