Historic centre
The core around the church and main square is the densest part of the town. Its streets form a small, irregular knot among the surrounding hills.

The map
About this Herisau map poster
Herisau is the seat of government of the Swiss half-canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, just west of St. Gallen. It lies in rolling pre-Alpine country, and the map reflects that terrain. Streets curve around hills, climb slopes and drop into small valleys, and the town gradually dissolves into a landscape of meadows, woods and farmhouses spread widely across the land.
This scattered settlement pattern is typical of Appenzell, where farms were built individually on their own land rather than in tight villages. Herisau's centre has older buildings around its church and square, and railway lines cross the deep stream valleys nearby on high viaducts, a reminder of how uneven the ground is.
A Herisau map poster captures that mix of compact centre and scattered hillside homes. Winding roads, looping lanes and the lines of the railway fill the frame with movement. The result is a lively, detailed composition that shows the landscape as much as the town.

Scattered farmsteads
Beyond the centre, houses and farms are dotted across the slopes, each on its own lane. This gives the map a distinctive, spread-out texture typical of Appenzell.
Railway and viaducts
Rail lines cut through the hilly terrain and cross valleys on tall bridges. On a map they draw smooth, steady curves through the winding road network.
