Altes Rathaus Schwänberg, Schwänberg 2683, 9100 Herisau
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. The exhibition and the historically significant rooms of the "Old Town Hall" are open to the public every first Sunday of the month from 14:00 to 16:00. Private guided tours of the Old Town Hall and the hamlet are possible at any time on request. Here you will find our offers such as guided tours, room rental, events etc.

This stately timber-framed building was built between 1627 and 1630, during the Thirty Years' War, for the doctor and mercenary captain Hans Conrad Zuberbühler.
