Appenzell
- Alternate uses: see Appenzell (disambiguation)
Appenzell is a region in Switzerland consisting of the cantons
Appenzell Innerrhoden and
Appenzell Ausserrhoden, both are surrounded by the
canton of St. Gallen. The town
Appenzell is the capital of the canton Innerrhoden, whereas
Herisau is the capital of the canton of Ausserrhoden.
The two cantons were one between 1513 and 1597. In that year, religion reasons lead to the division of the former canton of Appenzell into the two halves known today.
