Zellwegerscher Doppelpalast

The Zellwegerscher Doppelpalast is a double structure consisting of two connected buildings sharing symmetrical facades in Trogen. Large windows and traditional Swiss architectural features characterize both sections of the complex.

The double palace was built during the economic expansion of Appenzell Ausserrhoden when the textile industry brought considerable prosperity to the region. This period of textile manufacturing left lasting marks on the architecture of the area.

The building reflects the building practices of wealthy textile merchants who invested their fortunes in impressive residences. Its symmetrical design and elaborate details show how successful traders expressed their status through architecture.

The building is easily accessible by regular bus services that connect Trogen with St. Gallen and nearby areas. The town center is walkable and the double palace is situated within a manageable area.

The interior preserves original elements such as handcrafted staircases and decorated ceilings from its construction period. These well-maintained features give visitors an authentic glimpse into the craftsmanship of that era.
