Reformed church

The Reformed Church of Trogen is a Baroque building with ornamented cornices, stately columns, and carefully designed interior elements. The interior space shows a harmonious arrangement of liturgical furnishings and traditional religious architecture.

It emerged during a period of profound religious change and became the center of Protestant faith in the Appenzell Ausserrhoden region. The building reflects the architecture of that era and has shaped the village landscape ever since.

The church shapes the appearance of the village square and serves the community as a gathering place during important occasions and celebrations. It remains a space where residents come together for significant events and where local identity stays alive.

The church sits centrally on the village square and is easy to spot because of its distinctive Baroque facade. Visitors should note that it functions primarily as a place of worship and operating hours must be respected.

It is not only an active place of worship but also protected under national monument law as a cultural property of highest significance. This dual role as a living place of faith and protected heritage makes it especially valuable to the region.
