This church is a place to stop and visit while walking through the old town of Appenzell. The cemetery is also a quiet place to walk and enjoy the view over the river and rest of the city. Worth a stop!
I love this place. It's in the village where my in laws live, so we visit Appenzell several times a year for more than 20 years now. Whatever the season, I visit the Church. It's fantastic and apart from an impressive building in its own...More

It was perfect going inside from the cold and snowy weather You have access to the balcony and lower level area Perfect church for the Appenzell - the view of the Alps from the front steps both left and rifght
The St. Mauritius Church is indeed the highlight of the Appenzell town! On the inside, you have intricate murals, stained glass paintings and a dome like no other! The carvings are indeed intricate and the interiors are quite serene.
St Mauritius Church, in Appenzell (population est 6,000 2016) is a stunning beauty within a gem of a city. The stained glass, ornate alter, and fresco painted ceilings are awe inspiring. This is a must see during any trip to Switzerland.
A place to give thanks! As with all churches the insides and outsides are all different. The statues and the frescoes are beautiful, and the gold accents reminded me of churches in Russia. The pictures do it justice.
