City Lounge (Red Square), St. Gallen

Highlight • Monument

Switzerland's first public living room is spread out in the open air in the Bleicheli district of St. Gallen. It is covered with red rubber granulate and illuminated by artistic light fixtures. The "city lounge" by artist Pipilotti Rist and architect Carlos Martinez invites you to relax and marvel.

Monastery Courtyard, St. Gallen

Highlight • Historical Site

The baroque monastery complex of St. Gallen is the glorious culmination of a thousand-year monastic culture, grown from the hermit community of the Irish missionary monk Gallus, who retreated into the wild high valley of the Steinach in 612. His hermitage became the starting point for a new monastic community under Abbot Otmar a hundred years later.

In 747, an already fully developed monastery adopted the rule of Saint Benedict. Again a hundred years after Otmar, at the beginning of the 9th century, Abbot Gozbert ushered in the "golden age" of the abbey.

In 1805, the monastery was dissolved by the newly founded canton. Since then, the monastery complex has housed the government and administration of the Canton of St. Gallen, as well as the head and administration of the diocese of the same name, created in 1823.

St. Gallen Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The impressive cathedral stands on a spacious square, so you can admire its full splendour. The Collegiate Church of St. Gallen was built between 1755 and 1766 and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The late baroque building with all its details amazes both from the outside and from the inside. St. Gallen Cathedral is on the Way of St. James.
