Schellenberg
 
The history of the Principality started with the muncipality of Schellenberg which located on a hill. In 1699, Prince Johann Adam Andreas von Liechtenstein purchased the lands of Schellenberg, and 13 years later he bought the County of Vaduz.
Only in 1719 did Vaduz and Schellenberg become independent principalities under the Holy Roman Empire.

Schellenberg is the smallest municipality in the Principality of Liechtenstein with an area of 355 hectars/877 acres and a population of about 950. It is situated 700 m/2296 ft above sea level and enchants visitors through its landscape and undulating and romantic hills and woods that offer a stunning panorama of the nearby alps of Liechtenstein, Austria and Switzerland. Three well-run restaurants offer the visitor a vast range of culinary delicacies.

Population: 1049 (30.06.2008)
