Mettmenstetten (Swiss German: Mäpmischtette) is a village in the district of Affoltern in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland. thumb|left|Mettmenstetten church
==Origin of the name and history== The town took its name from being "In the middle". It was listed as being in the middle of two other locations (the exact identity of the locations have been lost in time). Additionally, people used to overnight at Mettmenstetten when they were traveling between Zurich and Luzern, as this town is about in the middle of the route.
