Located in the heart of Appenzellerland, the Wolfhalden Museum invites you on a journey into the region's past. Housed in a 17th-century farmhouse, it vividly depicts life in earlier times, influential figures, and the tradition of home weaving. Visitors can expect exciting permanent and special exhibitions, as well as carefully selected artifacts.

The Wolfhalde Local Museum is housed in the old "Krone," an authentic Appenzell house dating back to the 17th century. The local history collection is dedicated to local history, home weaving (a handloom for silk purse cloth is on display), as well as fruit and wine growing on the Kurzenberg. Annually changing special exhibitions on local themes complement the interesting permanent exhibition.
