The main town of Appenzell lies in the valley basin of the Sitter, surrounded by lush green hills. It is first mentioned in the foundation charter of the parish church from the year 1071 and encompasses the area of the former "Hof" of Appenzell. For this reason, the inhabitants of the village are still called "Hofer".
