Three watercolors by the painter Thomas Ender (1793-1875) were selected for the continuation of our series on the treasures from the Princely Collections. They show landscapes with ruins of castles and palaces associated with the House of Liechtenstein.
《列支敦士登遗址》（面值1.00 瑞士法郎），即今日所称的列支敦士登城堡，原建筑在1683年第二次奥斯曼帝国围攻维也纳期间被摧毁。1808年，列支敦士登家族重新购得该遗址，并进行了大规模的修复工程。
The “Liechtenstein Ruin” (face value CHF 1.00) is known today as Liechtenstein Castle. The original building was destroyed in 1683 during the second Turkish siege of Vienna. In 1808, the House of Liechtenstein reacquired the ruins and had them extensively restored.
The “Johannstein Ruin” (face value CHF 1.20) is located near Sparbach in Lower Austria at an altitude of around 450 meters. The castle first became famous in its ruinous state. It has been owned by the family since 1809 and is now almost completely surrounded by forest.
《拉本施泰因遗址》（面值1.90 瑞士法郎）位于东蒂罗尔维尔根市，海拔高达1410米，是蒂罗尔地区最高的城堡遗址之一。如今，该遗址是一处深受欢迎的夏季徒步旅游胜地，易于到达，并可俯瞰周围壮丽的阿尔卑斯山景色。
At an altitude of 1,410 meters, the former Rabenstein Castle - now known as “Rabenstein Ruin” (face value CHF 1.90) - was one of the highest castles in Tyrol. It belongs to the municipality of Virgen in East Tyrol and is a popular excursion destination. The ruins are easily accessible for hikers, especially in summer.
