🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Abbey of St. Gall is a perfect example of a Carolingian monastery and was one of the most important monasteries in Europe from the 8th century until its secularization in 1805. The library of the abbey is one of the richest and oldest in the world, containing precious manuscripts such as the earliest known architectural plans on parchment. The abbey area was rebuilt in the Baroque style between 1755 and 1768. The cathedral and library are the main features of this extraordinary complex, reflecting 12 centuries of continuous activity.
