The city of St. Gallen developed over the centuries around the monastery of the Benedictine monks. The Abbey District with its Baroque cathedral and the world-famous Abbey Library is the landmark and the heart of the city. In 1983, this district was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In fact, St. Gallen was one of the most important intellectual centers in Europe for a long time. You can still feel this today when you walk through the picturesque old town. Above all, the baroque cathedral bears witness to St. Gallen’s importance, but the many original manuscripts preserved in the abbey library are also impressive. A true cultural treasure.
