Appenzell Folklore Museum

Stein, Switzerland

Return to the Appenzell of yesteryear

Housed in a quaint mountain hut, you can watch a cheese-maker, a weaver and an embroiderer working at their craft using original equipment and machines. At 2 pm on every first Sunday of the month, there is a free guided museum tour.
