Schalun is a castle ruin, also known as a wild castle, situated on an exposed rocky ridge between Schaan and Vaduz.
The structural remains of Schalun are located on three separate, artificial levels. Access to the castle was secured by a moat across the northern plateau. Impressive remains of the castle core with the keep on the upper plateau have been preserved. The western plateau is separated from the rest of the castle complex by a moat. The few finds and features allow the first buildings to be dated to the 12th century. Alterations and extensions in the 13th century were intended to strategically secure the complex. It was completely cleared in the 14th century and then destroyed by fire.
