The sLandweibels-Huus, or Bailiff's House, is a captivating historical site in Schaan, Liechtenstein, offering visitors a unique window into the country's rich heritage. The ensemble of buildings is located near the Roman fort and the early Christian church of St. Peter. The oldest part of the building, a residential tower, dates back to the High Middle Ages.

In 1988, it was placed under monument protection.

From May to October, guided tours are available upon request. In the "Tend" (barn), visitors can view a fully functioning hydraulic cider press from the post-World War I era. Once operated by Landweibel Ludwig Beck (1844–1928), the building's southern section housed his living room, which also served as a police station. Landweibels were predecessors of today's state police. Today, the sLandweibels-Huus is part of the Domus museum.
