Old Town Hall Schwänberg - Free tour
Overview
Intro
An exhibition with an informative audio-visual show and original cultural objects provides an insight into the eventful history of the hamlet of Schwänberg and its inhabitants.
The Schwänberg is the oldest documented site in the Appenzell region. The name was first mentioned in a document from the monastery of St. Gallen in around 821. The oldest building relics date from a manor house in the late Middle Ages. In the 1620s, an actual prominent residential quarter was built. This manorial timber-framed building was built between 1627 and 1630, during the Thirty Years' War, for the doctor and mercenary captain Hans Conrad Zuberbühler.
The "Old Town Hall" and the exhibition are open to the public every first Sunday of the month from 14:00 to 16:00. Expert board members of the Herisau Historical Society are available to provide visitors with information.
