The history of our house goes as far back as the eighteenth century.  Originally the “Post” was named the “Rössle” (meaning the horse’s inn) and it is assumed that the name changed to the Post when the state owned postal service took possession in the beginning of the nineteenth century.

At this time Balzers was a  reloading point for goods being transported  over  Luziensteig to Italy.

 In the eighteenth  century the Post-Innkeeper was also worked as private letter collector. 

The letters were supposedly passed to the “Fussacher” messengers, who in times prior to state-controlled postal services transported goods, letters and travelers between Milano and Lindau,. 

In 1817 the first state-operated letter collecting station and later the  telephone and telegram transmitting offices were founded.  This gives us an indication to the importance of  Balzers  and the Post in conjunction with international transit trade. 

The “Post” Inn was well renowned as documented that the Russian General Suwarow stopped here in 1799. 

 In 1935 the old “Post” was destroyed by a fire and the new a considerably smaller structure was named the Hotel Restaurant Post. 

In 1981 the current owner, Viktor Kindle bought the building and after numerous renovations the Hotel was appointed with 4 stars.  As of October 2004 the Hotel is named the HOTEL HOF BALZERS.
