After the cattle return from the alpine pastures, life in the Appenzell region is far from quiet: now the cows take centre stage. At the autumn cattle shows, farming families proudly present their animals. Experts assess their appearance and productivity, while traditional costumes, the sound of cowbells and natural yodeling bring the showgrounds to life. For farmers, these shows are a highlight of the year; for visitors, they offer an insight into living traditions. Here, pride in farming, community spirit and a love of animals come together.
In December 2026, the new Appenzell shop will open at St. Peterstrasse 16. Look forward to a selection of Appenzell products, traditional crafts, and unique gift ideas. Lovingly crafted products, traditional delicacies, and that special something are waiting to be discovered. We’re already looking forward to welcoming you to the new shop. Curious? More details and the exact opening date will be announced
In January 2027 Haus Appenzell will reopen its doors. With the immersive exhibition **“Magische Stunde”**, an atmospheric experience will be created, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the history, culture and traditions of the Appenzell region.
A father and his children set out in search of their missing grandfather. Their journey takes them through a series of carefully staged rooms, where memories, secrets and unexpected encounters are gradually revealed.
The exhibition combines storytelling, sound, light and spatial design to create a captivating sensory experience for visitors of all ages. Appenzell culture is not simply presented, but brought to life in an entirely new way.
**Preparations are in full swing. Further insights and information will follow over the coming months.**
There is much to look forward to! Further information will follow.
With Haus Appenzell, the Ernst Hohl Cultural Foundation Appenzell has created a prestigious "culture showcase" for the Appenzell region and Toggenburg in the heart of Zurich since 2006. Our aim is to bring the traditional and contemporary arts, crafts, and way of life as cultivated and lived in the region around the Alpstein to urban Zurich, to the Swiss public in general, and to other countries. Housed in a beautiful neo-Renaissance building, we show the rich culture and manifold traditions of the region, combine them with foreign cultures, and promote them nationally and internationally.
