SEPAC – Architecture Hagenhaus

The Hagenhaus is a 19th century farmstead located in the Liechtenstein hamlet of Nendeln. The building complex has been a listed building since 1988 and is probably the best-preserved farmstead in Liechtenstein from the first half of the 19th century. Where it now stands prominently on one of the busiest roads in the Principality, the Hagenhaus was part of the historic Lindau – Milan postal route in the 19th century.

The Hagenhaus was built in 1837 by the Vaduz master builder Joseph Anton Seger and was used by two families as a combined residential and commercial building with adjoining agricultural outbuildings. From 1864 it housed the first K&K post office in the Liechtenstein Unterland. The owner was Josef Alois Schlegel, who also acted as postmaster himself.

The post office existed until 1912. Our special stamp “K&K Post Office 1864- 1912” (face value CHF 1.90) is Liechtenstein's contribution to this year's SEPAC issue. Every year, the association of the twelve smallest postal organizations in Europe issues a stamp on a common theme; in 2025, the theme is “Architecture”.
