Appenzell Essentials

Appenzell is defined by its well-preserved traditional architecture and deep-rooted cultural heritage. This collection features the late-Gothic Pfarrkirche St. Mauritius, the distinctive notched facade of the Kunstmuseum Appenzell, and the historic ruins of Clanx Castle. It also highlights local industry at Brauerei Locher, the producer of Appenzeller beer, and the Sitterviadukt, a railway bridge dating back to 1904. These landmarks reflect the religious, artistic, and engineering history of the Appenzell Innerrhoden capital.
