Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HERISAU , the largest town in the entire Swiss
canton
  of Appenzell, built on the Glatt torrent, and by light railway 7 M.
south
 -west of St Gall or 131 m. north of Appenzell. In 2900 it had 13,497 inhabitants, mainly
Protestant
  and German-speaking. The lower portion of the massive tower of the parish church (
Protestant
 )
dates
  from the 11th century or even earlier. It is a prosperous little industrial town in the Ausser Rhoden half of the
canton
 , especially busied with the manufacture of
embroidery
  by machinery, and of muslins. Near it is the goats' whey cure
establishment
  of Heinrichsbad, and the two castles of Rosenberg and Rosenburg, ruined in 1403 when the land rose against its lord, the abbot of St Gall. About 5 M. to the
south
 -
east
  is Hundwil, a
village
  of 1523 inhabitants, where the Landsgemeinde of Ausser Rhoden meets in the odd years (in other years at Trogen) on the last Sunday in April.
