Trogen

The rolling foothills of the Alpstein define the setting of Trogen — their pastureland and gently rising roads give this Appenzell Ausserrhoden settlement an open, elevated character and link daily life to a rural canton. Trogen’s compact centre is arranged around Landsgemeindeplatz, where stately 18th-century houses recall the prosperity generated by the Zellweger family’s textile trade. The village was the longtime meeting place of the canton’s open-air Landsgemeinde, a form of direct democracy held here until 1997. The Pestalozzi Children’s Village, founded after the Second World War, adds an international educational presence.
