Where is the Sutter Castle and what's the story?
The Sutter castle is located in Appenzell Innerrhoden. The canton is famous for many things! Perhaps, one of the most famous stories is among the Sutter family. The fame of the Sutter family is extensive! It's written that the canton of Appenzell was carved out to make way for a population of the first Appenzellers.
The castle was built for a wealthy man named Anton Löw. However, Anton Löw would be condemned to death for committing adultery. The castle would be given to Johann Baptist Fortunate Sutter.

The family would be given the Sutter castle in the 1500's. But, never occupy it until the 1800's. The Sutter castle was provided as residency for Franciscan nuns in the 1700's. The canton is said to be home of the first Folklore to appear in Switzerland. The beautiful landscape is holy to the eye. There are many sights in the world. But, when standing in Appenzell, steps from the Appenzeller Bahn, the Sutter castle can be found. From the center of the street one can rotate 360 degrees to see the captivating landscape! In June White Sunday is a popular event that has just finished! The first Sunday in June is perhaps the most holy of all pilgrimages a Christian can make in their lifetime. Love is important. And, it's important to identify the spring's offering of interaction. It's said that the young ladies in black and white carrying the depiction of the Mother Mary are all virgins available to be married. However, don't touch the milk unless you're going to buy it! The strictness of religion is one that's present in Appenzell and people of the canton take their faith seriously. Enter with the best of intent, and you'll have the best time!

Louis Nef can be booked for photography requirements by tourists and contacted on the website above. While, the canton is majority Roman Catholic today. There are a few Jewish people among the tribe of Appenzellers. Louis is proudly Jewish! The photograph quality captures speak for themselves. A great way to collect content while on vacation is by hiring a photographer! I personally met Louis Nef last June in 2017. Louis was a gentlemen and also has the ability to provide information on renting a tour bus to travel to some of the cantons most famous places.
The Jewish Stories of Appenzell
Appenzell isn't just known for it's love of religion and strict enforcement of laws. Love is serious. It can happen between any two people on Earth. Spirituality creates a race of people over time. How are the Jewish people and Appenzell closely related? There is potential that the field in the blason de femmes of the Sutter family may indicate, that at the time of marriage for diplomacy with France, the Sutter family may have been Jewish. The field body of the coat of arms appears to be azure in it's color. It may also be representative of the Prussian royal family. The Sutter family men living in the times of Hitler were sent to America to fight the threat to the Jewish faith. As family historian I've found trace evidences that the inspiration to fight would be provided by my great grandmother Bertha Fritsche-Sutter. It's my opinion that it was her motivation to summon the Sutter men to the fight. The Sutter men enlisted in the US Military and were victorious in the end. The story of Carl Lutz is further evidence of strong ties when in need of salvation. Carl Lutz's story was hidden for many years and wasn't revealed before the release of the story of the glass house. Carl Lutz's efforts is said to be responsible for the rescue of approximately 88.8% of the German Jewish to survive Nazi Germany. Find further evidence of this on http://www.Jewisher.com (Wordpress page dedicated to Carl Lutz.) I'm not sure whom takes claim to having founded the Fritsche School in Paramus. But, it's a mitzvah to be able to provide my knowledge to people. The Swiss are commonly unknown to have rescued the Jewish. Perhaps, the reason was to sustain neutral status that the secrets haven't been revealed before Carl Lutz. My grandmother feared Hitler long after his death. She once said; "What if Hitler comes back?" And, I almost fell over from the look of real fear in her eyes. My Grandfather would build a home for his "Kitty" in Paramus. All the brothers would come to help my grandfather. The Swiss chalet is perhaps one of the only in Paramus. The home is located within view of the Yavneh Yeshiva in Paramus. Today, it's still standing, and one day I may attempt to buy it back. The Jewish people have Appenzellers to thank for the salvation of at least 88% rescued by Carl Lutz alone. This pilgrimage is located outside the Eastern wall. Switzerland is home to the East side of the Western wall.

The Royal marriage would make the Sutter family the Capitaine.

Sutter Blason de Femmes sealing diplomacy with France and Switzerland. A Blason de Femmes can represent a Royal marriage sealed combing multiple shields of Hearldry. If this picture was to be expanded the first of writing found connecting the two coats of arms reads "St. Louis." It's likely referencing the line of the family in the King Saint Louis's direct successors.
THE FRENCH REIGN OF TERROR COMES INTO VIEW?
Only those that know the story of the Sutter family correctly can understand how the story of the French reign of terror is relevant. Appenzell's story isn't without bitter sweet tragedy. John Sutter was sentenced to death in the 1700's for the collection of a mortgage. Those in default had their property assumed. This assumption was a first of it's kind because it didn't boarder the Cantonal boundary of Appenzell Innerrhoden. Sutter had won the election and earned the position as the head of the Canton. However, his position could not save him from a tragic fate of execution. A rushed trial began when the man opposing Sutter in the election called for the popes treasury. Perhaps, the loser of the election wanted some form of vengeance. The trial would result in execution. John Sutter would sing Ave Maria three times before the execution would take his head. The story isn't all tragic.
The reason John Sutter was able to suckle from the breast of his wife to be provided his last nourishment in life is clear. Within the amber haired woman in the panting was Roman Sutter. The family names of fame are perhaps most famous by John and Roman.

Circa 1770's copy of Sutter family document above.
Link to graphic depicting John Sutter's decapitation!
John Sutter's beloved wife would not give up the fight to prove his innocence. It's said that every year she would file for his appeal. Before her death the appeal was accepted. She would hold her grandchild in arms, continuing the Sutter name, to watch as her husband was exhumed. The young child Roman Sutter was said to have asked her; "Why are they digging that man up?" In his adolescence he would be spared the truth. The replay is said to have been; "For his clothing."
This would be the view into the graveyard that may have been seen if you were the child in the Sutter mothers arms.
The appeal created a chance for the successors to restore the Royalty to France. Coming after the French Reign of Terror. The Sutter family became the most direct living lineage to the King Saint Louis.
When looking closely at the image above one can read "Reunitus la Ancien Temples A Lestium"
Today there are still trials to overcome in consideration to the story of my life. To restore Frances Royalty and coexist with a Parliament offering a free country to the people would be lovely. Perhaps, it will happen in the future. This clearly defines how the St. Louis bloodline finds itself in Appenzell Switzerland.
ROYALY AND COOL! HENCE, CASTLE!
It may be difficult to get a peak inside the castle. But, there's rumors that the residents fancy inviting book clubs to gather for a small fee of between 15-30 Francs per person. Make sure to ask around once visiting the castle. The castle may not always be available to the public dependent on changes that may have occurred in the last decade.
Above is a picture of a dispensation. The Sutter castle was given in part to the canton of Appenzell with this dispensation. 33% would be provided to the canton while the other 67% was ownership of the Sutter family. The initiative created legislation that allowed the Sutter family to live in the property tax free. The Canton is the second smallest in Switzerland. It's also the most wealthy canton. The "Schloss" construction is an engineering wonder of mid-evil times. The spiral staircase is a first of it's kind connecting every step with a singular center post.
Visitors have been fortunate enough to get a chance to photograph the castle from within. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES WITHIN WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE OWNERS! Some paintings existing in the castle are very old and may be degraded by certain flashes harming the oil paint. Pictures have been known to be allowed sparingly.
It wouldn't be long before the Sutter family would settle into society again. The threat of the French Royal secret was real. The election to wait to restore the throne occurred. So, what happened between the first Ancient Regime Restoration try and the world wars for the Sutter Appenzellers? Composing the German versions National Anthem melody would happen.
Even those with the utmost of Swiss pride should visit the canton of Appenzell for the historic contributions made by the Sutter family.
There is a great deal of propaganda to defeat in the case of the Sutter family. The propagation pamphlet below purposely misspells the Sutter name. I have a copy of the complete pamphlet. It's original and from the 1880's. The sad truth of the French Royals can be found in the largest blue diamond on Earth. The Hope Diamond was stolen from the King Louis. Perhaps, one day the Sutter family will be able to recall the stolen items to preserve among the Royal properties existing throughout Europe and extending into the Middle East. Since the abdication of Italy's Royal Family from Palestine all the lineage has perished. It's highly likely that the Sutter family may have the strongest genetic tie in consideration to the Italian Royal family. The King Henry also successes into the Sutter family via Saint. Louis. The multiple of Kingdoms of the House of Bourbon provides room to confidently accept Spains Royal Family. And, with a sense of thanks for continuing the Royal traditions of their nation. It's very likely that the Sutter family is closest related to the remaining successors of Capet in the Spanish Capitanes. However, the Sutter family would be the most direct successor family to the Saint King Louis. While, no one royal family is greater than another, it's with honor to mention the Bourbon's of Spain.
"Fear no propagation. Restore what is true and treasure one another."
Sutter family propaganda from 1884
Appenzell is golden! It's a lovely experience! It's my hope more will come to visit Appenzell. I would like more to share the boundless beauty of the canton. I would like more to contribute to the Appenzeller Bahnen. http://www.appenzellerbahnen.ch/ The railways of Switzerland provide trains servicing valuable transportation to the local population. Every contribution to the railway increases the integrity and security of the train system. Specifically, the Appenzeller Bahnen is less frequently used by tourists. The Appenzell Canton is hiding it's ability to act as the perfect hideaway while on vacation. Traditional clothing can be preordered and picked up upon arrival. Entertaining oneself with traditional events creates a better understanding of Appenzell's lovely people!
Ensure to visit the many eateries and shops of Appenzell. The famous capped gnomes from Switzerland? It's legend that they can still be found at the Bazar Hersche. The gnomes make for a lovely take home item to place in ones garden or home. As a lawn ornament they last for years! Every time someone sees their gnome peaking out of the bush near the front entry of your suburban home it's an Appenzeller reminder.
"May the reminders of Appenzell bring you peace and joy!"
Are there celebrities of Appenzell?
