The Battle of the Stoss took place in the area of Gais in 1405, a significant event in the Appenzell Wars. Gais combines this historical connection with a townscape characterized by its organically developed settlement structure and its large village square.

The settlement of Gais developed around the church and was laid out around a large village square. After the village fire of 1780, Gais was rebuilt on the historic ground plan, giving the square a uniform character.
