Wald Church (Appenzell Ausserrhoden)

Highlight • Religious Site

Originally, the Wald population - like the villages in the near and far surroundings - were churchgoers of Goldach. A church was built there in 1275. In 1461, the Appenzell settlements separated from Goldach. A separate parish church was built in Trogen, thus establishing the (church) community of Trogen. A good two hundred years later, another split occurred: Rehetobel built its first village church in 1669, Wald in 1686/1687. These two places thus also became independent (church) communities.

The foundation stone for the Wald church was laid on May 20, 1686, and it was consecrated on May 8, 1687. It retained its original appearance until it was renovated in 1902: Because the people of Wald no longer wanted to be laughed at for their apparently too short church tower, it was raised by six meters, and at the same time the village got a new bell. Further renovations followed, the last significant one in 1967/1968. Among other things,
