On the quiet side street with a view of the Alpstein you will come across the Chapel of Mary of the Sun, which is probably one of the most beautiful places in Appenzellerland. The place of worship was first mentioned in history in 1628.

Medium-sized chapel, easily accessible via a dead-end road. Right next to a beautifully restored typical Appenzell farmhouse.
