APPENZELL

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 221 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
APPENZELL , the political
capital
  of the Inner Rhoden half of the Swiss canton of Appenzell. It is built in a smiling green hollow on the left bank of the Sitter stream, which is formed by the union of several mountain. torrents descending from the Santis. By light railways it is 122 M. from St Gall past Gais or 202 M. past Herisau. Its
chief
  streets are paved, but it is rather a large
village
  than a town, though in 'goo it had 4574 inhabit-ants, practically all German-speaking and Romanists. It has a stately modern parish church (attached to a
Gothic
  choir), a small but very ancient chapel of the abbots of St Gall (whose summer residence was this
village
 ), and two Capuchin convents (one for men, founded in 1588, and one for women, founded in 1613). Among the archives, kept in the sacristy of the church, are several
banners
  captured by the Appenzellers in former days, among them one taken in 1406 at Imst, near Lanedeck, with the inscription Hundert Teufel, though popularly this number is multiplied a thousandfold. In the principal square the Landsgemeinde (or cantonal democratic assembly) is held annually in the open air on the last Sunday in April. The inhabitants are largely employed in the production of embroidery, though also engaged in various
pastoral
  occupations. About 22 M. by road
south
 -
east
  of Appenzell is Weissbad, a well-known goat's whey cure
establishment
 , while 12 hours above it is the quaint little chapel of Wildkirchli, built (1648) in a rock cavern, on the way to the Santis. (W. A. B. C.)
