Kanton Appenzell Ausserrhoden is a small canton in northeastern Switzerland, entirely surrounded by Kanton St Gallen, with approximately 55,300 residents. Herisau, the cantonal capital with about 16,000 inhabitants, serves as the administrative and economic centre. Trogen, at the eastern end of the canton, hosts the cantonal parliament in alternating years with Herisau and is home to the Pestalozzi Children's Village, an international foundation established in 1946. The canton separated from Appenzell Innerrhoden in 1597 along confessional lines, with Ausserrhoden becoming Protestant.
The landscape consists of rolling green hills, scattered farmsteads, and traditional Appenzell-style painted houses. Textile manufacturing, particularly embroidery, drove the local economy for centuries; today, engineering, healthcare, and services have largely replaced it. Heiden, a small resort town, is where Henry Dunant, founder of the Red Cross, spent his final years.
