Government Building, Vaduz

The Government Building (German: Regierungsgebäude) is the seat of the Government of Liechtenstein. It contains the office of the prime minister and the government ministries.[1][2] It also houses the Liechtenstein National Archives.[3] It is located in the capital of Vaduz.

The building began construction in 1903 to a design by Austrian architect Gustav Ritter von Neumann, who was commissioned by Johann II, and opened on 28 December 1905.[1][4] The building represents neo-Renaissance architecture and contained the first telephone network and central heating in the country.[1]

From its opening in 1905 the building also served as the meeting place of the Landtag of Liechtenstein until 2007, when the Landtag of Liechtenstein Building was built.[5]
