Appenzell (or Appenzellerland) is a region in the northeast of Switzerland, entirely surrounded by the Canton of St. Gallen.
Appenzell became a full member of the confederation in 1513, and religious divisions resulting from the Protestant Reformation culminated in a split in 1597 between the Catholic Innerrhoden and Protestant Ausserrhoden.
